Official: Pakistan suspends trucks from using pass

Government official Bakhtiar Khan says the suspension at the Khyber Pass is due to security concerns. He says it will end "as soon as possible."

The move comes just days after a band of militants hijacked around a dozen trucks whose loads included Humvees headed to U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan.

The attack underscored the vulnerability of the supply line and the growing influence of Islamist extremists in Pakistan's northwest.

Barred vehicles were told to wait Sunday on a main road near Peshawar city.
