Pakistan resumes Afghan supplies

The Pakistani forces moved into the Jamrud area on Tuesday

The supply route for international forces in Afghanistan via the Khyber Pass has been reopened, Pakistani officials say.

The route was closed on Tuesday when Pakistani forces began an operation against militants in the area, which is still continuing.

The leading administrator in Khyber told the BBC that all transport along the route was now operating.

There has been a spate of hijackings and attacks on vehicles in the area.

Khyber tribal district administrator, Tariq Hayat, said the Khyber Pass was reopened on Friday morning and that lorries "carrying trading goods to Afghanistan as well as Nato supplies" were rolling.

He said there were no security convoys travelling with the lorries.
