Militants destroy 12 Nato supplies trucks

Taliban militants in Pakistan on Saturday destroyed 12 parked trucks, laden with supplies for Nato forces in Afghanistan, during a heavy battle with police, an official said. Police said that fighters, armed with rockets and petrol bombs, besieged the Farhad terminal on the edge of Peshawar.
"There were no casualties in the attack, but the fire gutted 12 trucks loaded with Nato supplies," police station chief Fazal Wahid told AFP. "We had to call reinforcements from other police stations as Taliban outnumbered the local force and were heavily armed," he said. The attack came one day after a suicide bomber blew himself up at a packed mosque during prayers in Jamrud, near here, leaving around 50 dead and scores wounded.
