Pakistan halts Nato supply to Afghanistan

Pakistan has temporarily stopped Nato supply trucks crossing its northwestern border into Afghanistan over security concerns due to fears of Islamist attacks, officials said yesterday.
"Movement of Nato vehicles has been temporarily suspended since Wednesday evening to beef up security," a paramilitary official told AFP.
He said the Nato route would "resume very soon", but that until then trucks carrying supplies for the Nato troops in Afghanistan had been told not to approach the border.
