CHAMAN, Pakistan - A pair of trucks carrying NATO supplies crossed into Afghanistan on Thursday, Pakistani customs officials said, the first time in more than seven months that Pakistan has allowed Western nations to use its roads to supply troops in Afghanistan. We received orders yesterday to allow NATO supply trucks through, but security officials hadn’t received their instructions," said Imran Raza, a customs official.
