THE US military is rapidly expanding its aerial and central Asian supply routes to the war in Afghanistan, fearing that Pakistan could cut off the main means of providing US and NATO forces with fuel, food and equipment.
Pakistan has not explicitly threatened to sever the supply lines, but US officials said they were concerned the routes could be endangered by the deterioration of US-Pakistan relations, partly fed by ill will from the cross-border raid that killed al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden.
