WASHINGTON — The military is making backup plans in case the unrest in Pakistan begins to affect the flow of supplies to American troops fighting in Afghanistan, the Defense Department said Wednesday.
Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell said the supply lines are “very real areas of concern” because about 75 percent of the supplies, including 40 percent of vehicle fuel supplies, either go through or over Pakistan.
“We hope it doesn’t come to this,” Morrell told reporters. “Right now we’ve seen no indications that any of our supply lines have been impacted.”
