COMMENTS: Khyber Pass is Choke Point
The demolition of a bridge in the Khyber Pass along NATO's military supply line from Pakistan to Afghanistan grabbed the attention of CBS' Sheila MacVicar in London. Increasing guerrilla attacks and looting of NATO supply convoys have produced a bonanza in the bazaars of Peshawar. MacVicar showed us videotape that she claimed as a CBS Exclusive of the goods on display--"military equipment, boots, camouflage, even high-powered binoculars and sophisticated night-vision gear." With the Khyber Pass supply route so vulnerable to sabotage, MacVicar looked at the feasibility of air supply from the north. "There are problems," she warned. Kyrgyzstan has just evicted the United States from its air base there "under Russian pressure."
