FC stops more than 40 ATT containers in Chaman

On the directives of the Frontier Corps (FC) Balochistan inspector general, law enforcement agencies on Friday stopped over 40 Afghan Transit Trade (ATT) containers in Chaman which were apparently loaded with supplies for NATO forces stationed in Afghanistan. Col Tanvir of FC told reporters that they received information that some containers loaded with goods for NATO forces wanted to enter Afghanistan on the pretext of Afghan Transit Trade. “On the instructions of the FC IG, we have stopped over 40 such containers and searched them” he said. He said search of such containers and trucks would continue as there was a ban on NATO supplies. Meanwhile, Balochistan Chief Minister Aslam Raisani has called for the immediate removal of NATO oil tankers from the province.
