(21 Mar 2017) Hundreds of trucks crossed into Afghanistan from Pakistan on Tuesday after the border reopened for the first time in more than a month, ending the protracted closure of one South Asia's busiest trade routes. • Border official Fayaz Khan, who is based at Pakistan's Torkham border crossing told AP that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's order to open the border was received late on Monday. • As a result he said, the border opened for business at 7 a.m. local time (0200 GMT) on Tuesday. • Pakistan closed the border in mid-February, following a string of militant attacks that Islamabad has blamed on militants hiding in Afghanistan. • Pakistan and Afghanistan often accuse the other of harbouring militants. • • Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork • Twitter: / ap_archive • Facebook: / aparchives • Instagram: / apnews • • • You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
