A dangerous new Afghan road opens

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has blueprints for several new supply routes through Central Asian countries into the north of Afghanistan as an alternative to the current - and vulnerable - main route via Pakistan. The Taliban-led war, though, is spreading from the south to the until recently relatively harmonious northern belt. A new strategic front is opening up. - Derek Henry Flood (Sep 17, '09)
