Imran Khan's party blocks highway to Afghanistan
November 23, 2013
Supporters of Imran Khan's party today blocked a key NATO supply route to Afghanistan to protest US drone strikes, as the cricketer-turned-politician claimed the attacks had sabotaged the peace process with militants.
The Ring Road, the main supply route for NATO container trucks, and the Torkham crossing on the Afghan border were blocked due to a rally organised by Khan's Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf.
Containers were placed on the Ring Road to obstruct trucks as hundreds of Khan's supporters gathered for the rally in Peshawar, the capital of Khyber-Pakthunkhwa province that is ruled by the Tehrik-e-Insaf.
