Hagel Warns Pakistan to Help Open NATO Supply Route --- Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel warned Pakistan that it risks losing some U.S. financial aid if a key supply route to Afghanistan remains blocked by protesters. -- Hundreds of Pakistanis have clogged roads in Peshawar and other northwestern towns to protest U.S. drone strikes, leading the Pentagon to announce a week ago that it was halting shipments on one of the main routes into Afghanistan. -- Pakistan has received more than $10 billion in Coalition Support Funds, making it the program’s biggest recipient, according to the Pentagon. - More, Bloomberg, at: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-12-08/hagel-to-visit-pakistan-monday-for-meeting-with-sharif.html
