Pakistan: Haulage companies refuse to transport supplies to Afghan troops

15 December, 2008 (16:37) | Palestine/Middle East | vercingetorix




PESHAWAR: Haulage companies in Pakistan have stopped delivering to foreign troops in Afghanistan after a major deterioration in security along the key supply route, an association official told AFP Monday.

The decision follows a series of major raids by suspected Taliban militants on international military supply depots in northwest Pakistan in the past two weeks in which hundreds of NATO and US-led coalition vehicles were destroyed.

‘We have stopped supplies to foreign forces in Afghanistan from today,’ Mohammad Shakir Afridi, president of the Khyber Transport Association, told AFP Monday in the northwestern city of Peshawar.
