Tashkent closes border crossing with Kyrgyzstan

The second largest border crossing between Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan is now closed to everyone but residents of the immediate vicinity. The border crossing is the main point of entry for wholesale goods from China entering Uzbekistan. The crossing is also near Khanabad, the scene of a terrorist attack on Uzbek police forces in May 2009. (Eurasianet)
