Militants Destory NATO Supply Bridge in Pakistan

by Stephan Tawney on February 3, 2009

Taliban militants have destroyed a bridge in the border region between Pakistan and Afghanistan, CNN reports. The destruction of the bridge has interrupted the supply of NATO forces in Afghanistan.

The blast occurred in the Khata Kushta area of Jamrod in the Khyber Agency in Pakistan Federally Administered Tribal Areas.

The bridge connected Landi Kotal and Jamrod. Transportation has been suspended, and authorities are assessing damages.

Engineers are also on location and work is under way to open a temporary route.

The good news is that there have been no immediate reports of deaths or injuries. Let’s hope that that doesn’t change. Further details are unavailable.
