Trucks carrying supplies for NATO forces in Afghanistan are being turned back at Pakistan's border. Thousands of trucks are now stranded near the border. Much of the area looks like a container yard since Islamabad decided to close its borders with Afghanistan.
The move by Islamabad is retaliation for a NATO airstrike killed 24 Pakistani troops over the weekend.
Since almost half of NATO coalition supplies comes through Pakistan, cutting the supply route could deal a serious blow to the U.S. military mission in Afghanistan.
The deadly airstike has brought already heated tension between the U.S. and Pakistan to a full boil. In Lahore, protesters chanted the "only remedy for America is jihad."
