A bridge in the Khyber Pass has been blown up

The Khyber Pass is a strategic and historic pass that links Pakistan to Afghanistan. As Paddy Docherty describes in his wonderful book (see my review), the pass has seen History passing through since Alexander the Great. Today, the role of the pass has not diminished.

Yesterday, a bridge in the Khyber Pass has been blown up, cutting the main road of supply to NATO forces in Afghanistan.
