Pakistan truckers back NATO supply route blockade (AP)

In this picture taken on Thursday, Dec. 8, 2011, Pakistani truck drivers and their assistants gather at a terminal in Karachi, Pakistan. Pakistan closed its two Afghan crossings in Chaman and Torkham, in the northwest Khyber tribal area, almost immediately after NATO aircraft attacked two army posts along the border before dawn on Nov. 26. The supply lines account for 40 percent of the fuel, clothes, vehicles and other 'non lethal' supplies for the Afghan war.
