    Pakistan 'to reopen Afghan route'

    </span>
    Pakistan is to reopen a crucial overland supply route for Nato forces in Afghanistan with immediate effect, the country's foreign ministry says.

    The main north-western crossing at Torkham was closed 10 days ago after a cross-border air strike by Nato forces which left two Pakistani soldiers dead.

    Since then, the Pakistani Taliban have attacked a number of convoys with Nato supplies bound for Afghanistan.

    The latest, on Saturday, saw gunmen torch nearly 30 tankers carrying fuel.
