Pakistan says it will consider reopening key NATO supply routes to neighboring Afghanistan, provided NATO is willing to pay. Defense Minister Ahmad Mukhtar yesterday told reporters in Sukkur that if the routes are reopened, "it will not be free." The minister said any money raised through tolls or tariffs on NATO shipments would go to road infrastructure. Pakistan blocked the Khyber and Chaman routes following last month's NATO raid on Pakistani border posts that killed 24 soldiers.
