A Pakistani official says the main supply route for U.S. and NATO troops fighting in Afghanistan has been reopened. Operations against militants in the area are ongoing.
The Khyber Pass in northwest Pakistan was closed Tuesday to allow troops to target militants blamed for attacking convoys carrying equipment to Western forces in neighboring Afghanistan. Khyber administration head Tariq Hayat Khan says the road reopened Friday for all traffic but military operations were continuing "on its outskirts." |
