Taliban targets Nato lorries
Taliban fighters in northwest Pakistan have destroyed 14 lorries carrying supplies for Nato forces in neighbouring Afghanistan, in the second such attack in two days. Fighters entered a supply depot on the outskirts of the northwestern city of Peshawar at around 1am local time (20:00 GMT on Sunday), overpowered guards and set fire to vehicles, police said on Monday. The vehicles were bound for US-led forces stationed in Afghanistan, police said. "About 50 gunmen attacked us ... They first disarmed us and then began setting fire to bulldozers and Humvees," Raza Khan, one of the depot's guards, was quoted by the Reuters news agency as saying. "A police team arrived after about an hour and an exchange of fire took place for an hour." Sixteen bulldozers and Humvee patrol vehicles were destroyed, Khan said.
