Pakistanis fired rockets at more than 20 abandoned tankers in Pakistan set to carry fuel for U.S. and NATO troops in neighboring Afghanistan on Thursday, after Islamabad closed the border in response to U.S. airstrikes that killed 24 Pakistani troops last month.
Hundreds of trucks meant to transport supplies to NATO troops in Afghanistan have been stranded at poorly guarded terminals as the coalition waits for Pakistan to reopen the vital corridor through which 40 percent of NATO’s non-lethal supplies pass.
Tensions are still high between the U.S. and Pakistan after the U.S. airstrikes on a Pakistani outpost, for which U.S. officials have yet to officially apologize. This loss of war supplies is not likely to improve those relations.
GOOD!
the more the better i say…
"This loss of war suppliesis not likely to improve relations".
Who the bloody hell cares!
The Americans and NATO brought this on themselves in their bloodlust to kill as many people as they can. They don't care if the people they are killing are terrorists, allies, women , children innocent or guilty..
Iran should show Pakistan how to bring down US drones. That would really hurt the US.
At $400/gal, between 52 and 79 Million Dollars just went up in flames.
US is starting a war with Iran now and just begun another with Pakistan
