Pakistan had temporarily stopped Nato supplies over security concerns on July 24 after gunmen attacked a convoy of Nato trucks on July 24, killing a driver, in the town of Jamrud on the outskirts of Peshawar.
"The Nato supplies have resumed from today and we sent 14 containers" for international troops in Afghanistan," a local administration official told AFP on condition of anonymity because he is unauthorised to speak to media.
A local intelligence official also confirmed resumption of supplies and the departure of 14 Nato containers to Afghanistan.
A senior local customs official, Ubaidullah Khan, however, put the figure of containers, which left for Afghanistan, at seven, adding that they carried food stuff and clothes.

Good news for poor drivers and helpers. Atleast they will have some food for their children in month of Ramadhan. There is a danger to their lives but dying once is better than dying of poverty and hunger. Those who enjoy luxuries of life on donations cannot understand these situations.
Mubarak Ho.
Whether the actual count was 14 or 7 containers it's clear that the volume is so miniscule as to make it irrelevant - what's becoming abundantly clear is that NATO can't rely on Pakistan to honor it's commitment. I would also observe that Pakistan has never considered the security of NATO supplies important and Pakistan now appears to be using "security" as another form of extortion -- good luck with that.
Bismillah. Why? Why must we be the lifeline of non-Muslim forces? Why must we kowtow? because there is money to be made? This is not complicated, we Muslims need to align all our activities to benefit other Muslims and not shed blood of theirs. This just keeps fighting going and the drones and once these non-Muslims leave they will leave a mess and continuous fighting between Taliban Muslims and the Muslims that kowtowed with Karzai's regime. Great strategy, Islamabad. Let the black flags fly high and never waiver. Allah Akbar *3.
