At least seven NATO containers crossed the Takhta Bag checkpost at Jamrud. The containers under tight security until Parang Sa checkpost reached safely, Khasadar sources said. They would move further after custom clearance, officials added.
Witnesses said that no security arrangements were made in Landikotal for the containers. The officials of the Khasadar Forces said they were not aware of the reopening of NATO supplies on Saturday, therefore, they had not made any security plan in Landikotal.
