LANDIKOTAL, Pakistan - Western military supplies to Afghanistan were suspended through Pakistan's Khyber Pass on Monday after militants attacked an army camp, killing a paramilitary soldier and wounding 10, an official said.

"We're preparing for an assault. We have imposed curfew in Landikotal and Jamrud. The border is also closed," Zar Bacha Khan, a government official in the region, told Reuters, referring to main towns in the Khyber region.
