Two container truck carrying Nato supplies to Afghanistan were set on fire by unidentified miscreants on Bara Road near Jalandher village in Khyber district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa on Friday. One of the drivers requesting anonymity said the trucks were transporting four armored vehicles for Nato forces. In July last year, a driver had suffered bullet injuries when militants attacked a container truck carrying supplies to Nato troops in Afghanistan in Khyber district. Trucks travelling through Pakistan to supply US-led forces have frequently been attacked during Nato’s 20-year intervention in Afghanistan. In 2011, around 20 trucks were ablaze in a rocket attack on a NATO trucking terminal in Quetta.
