Most of them are in a normal physical condition.

Obama meets "briefly" with Pakistani president

The US and Pakistan have failed to reach an agreement to reopen the supply route from Pakistan to Afghanistan at the Nato summit, which has just concluded in Chicago.
The supply lines were closed in late November after 24 Pakistani soldiers were killed in U.S. airstrikes along the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
About 40 percent of NATO's nonlethal supplies had passed through the line.
Though the two sides didn't have a formal meeting at the summit, U.S. President Barack Obama met "briefly" with his Pakistani counterpart Asif Ali Zardari, twice, on the sidelines of the summit.
Obama says Zardari shared his belief that the supply route will be reopened soon.
