Suspected Taliban fighters in Pakistan have destroyed 11 lorries loaded with supplies for Nato forces in neighboring Afghanistan, police say.
Police officials on Sunday said as many as 60 fighters attacked two lorry terminals outside the northwestern city of Peshawar armed with petrol bombs, starting off huge blazes at both points.
"There were no casualties in the petrol bomb attacks early Sunday on Pak-Afghan and Fazale Rabi terminals, which destroyed 11 trucks loaded with Nato supplies," Abdul Gahfoor, a senior police official, said.
Mohammd Javed, another police official, said "the militants were 50-60 in number", adding they had over-powered and beaten security guards before starting the fires.
Taliban fighters have carried out a series of strikes on lorries carrying supplies for US and Nato-led foreign forces in Afghanistan.
The bulk of supplies and equipment required by the foreign troops across the border is shipped through northwest Pakistan's tribal region of Khyber.
