Pakistan Reopens Vital Border For NATO

'Pakistan has reopened a vital supply route to NATO forces in Afghanistan after receiving a payment of $365 million from the US. Pakistan's Defense Minister, Chaudhry Ahmed Mukhtar, said the border route had been closed in response to recent raids by US-led forces inside Pakistani territory, which violated the sovereignty of the country. Mukhtar added that the closure demonstrated to the US that Islamabad would not tolerate airstrikes and raids inside its borders. On Friday, Pakistan stopped trucks from crossing the Torkham border crossing. They were carrying fuel and other supplies to US-led NATO forces inside Afghanistan. The action followed US-led attacks that killed at least 20 Pakistani civilians in tribal areas bordering Afghanistan. According to reports, the US paid $365 million to Pakistan as funding for the war on terror immediately after the closure of the border. The border was subsequently reopened.'
