NATO route briefly closed as Taliban attack army camp

Looks like we signed the new supply route deal with Russia, Uzbekistan and just in time. Daily Times

LANDIKOTAL: Supplies to western forces in Afghanistan through the Khyber Pass were briefly suspended on Monday after the Taliban attacked an army camp in Landikotal, killing a soldier and injuring 10 others, an official told Reuters.

A government official in Khyber had said early on Monday that supplies through the pass had been suspended indefinitely after the Taliban attacked a military camp with rocket-propelled grenades.

But he later said the route had been reopened after security forces captured 10 men suspected of carrying out the attack.
