Pakistan stops oil supplies

Islamabad: To mark its protest against the continuing cross-border raids by the U.S.-led forces from Afghan soil, Pakistan on Saturday said it was suspending overland oil supplies to the coalition troops in Afghanistan.

Defence Minister Chaudhry Ahmed Mukhtar said the decision to stop the supplies had been made because the attacks by the U.S.-led forces from Afghanistan had continued despite protests by Pakistan. — PTI
