Pakistan on Tuesday admitted that it had allowed NATO to use its airspace for supplies to Afghanistan, but said the permission was granted for food items only. “The permission has been given for food items only,” Defence Minister Chaudhry Ahmed Mukhtar told reporters at a PIA function on Tuesday. He said, “We have allowed them to transport food items by air to Afghanistan as they were perishable.
However, we have also told them not to bring more food supplies after allowing them to transport some by air,” he said. Earlier, US Ambassador Cameron Munter had stated that NATO had continued to fly supplies into Afghanistan despite the closure of the Pakistani border to NATO trucks and containers after the November 26 NATO airstrikes on two Pakistani border checkposts.

  1. Of course…"humanitarian grounds". It would be cruel to deny American soldiers the oreo cookies, soda water and ipods they need when they kill ordinary Afghans from their apache helicopters.

  2. What's a foreigner doing in this PPP govt? Maybe they gave him a Canadian passport in gratitude for his services

  3. The British colonialist left 60 years ago, but they left a strong imprint and mentality of serving to others while neglecting your own. The Pakistani ruling 'elite' is still subject to inferior complex mentality and has no faith in its people, we have no faith in them what so ever anyways. These people are so sick minded they take money from other nations to kill and have army operations on its own people, they are the lowest of humans.
    All these ruling elite will go one day, that day is coming very soon my fellow Pakistanis.

  4. how would they if there is really food supplies in the planes passing our air space, recently custom officials have checked and confiscated containers of Afghan Transit Trade who had had NATO supplies in it.

  5. Either you are allowing or you are not allowing. What is this by Air and by ground business? Confused policies of an enslaved country.
