Pakistan temporarily reopens its border with Afghanistan - The Globe and Mail:
The measure — which is to remain in place on Wednesday as well — seeks to ease tensions between the two neighbours and relieve some of the backlog of people and vehicles at the crossings.
According to Pakistani officials, hundreds of Afghans and Pakistanis with valid travel documents are now allowed to cross through the Torkham crossing in the northwest or the Chaman in the southwest. The two are major arteries for trade and commerce, though there are other crossings which are less in use and which will remain closed.
