06-09 - In a move seen as the latest fallout from Wednesday morning's US attack on South Waziristan, the Pakistani government has ordered that supply lines to Nato troops in Afghanistan be immediately severed for an indefinite period of time. The move comes as thousands of protesters marched through South Waziristan's capital of Wana chanting 'death to America'. Officials cited repeated attacks which had made it difficult to provide security for transportation across the only border crossing, but Pakistani media cited other sources who said the move came as the government feared retaliation from South Waziristan tribesmen if they didn't respond to the US attack.
