Pakistan's NATO blockade enters 15th day

PESHAWAR: Pakistan's blockade of the vital US supply line into Afghanistan entered a third week Saturday, the longest closure of the 10-year war with no imminent sign of the border reopening.

Officials in the northwest, where the main Torkham crossing into Afghanistan is situated, told AFP there were no plans to reopen.

"There is strong public resentment. People are angry about this incident and we cannot take a decision in haste," one senior security official told AFP.

"Pakistan will reopen the border when public anger cools down and the route is protected," he added. (AFP)
