Summary Pakistan is a major transit supply route for the Nato mission in landlocked Afghanistan.
PESHAWAR (Web Desk) – More than forty miscreants attacked the convoy of container trucks carrying Nato supplies in Khyber Agency, Dunya News reported on Monday.
The trucks were attacked in Jamrud area of Khyber Agency, as they were on their way to Afghanistan.
Reportedly, three drivers were injured in the incident.
A local administration official also confirmed the incident and said the attackers had fled.
No group has admitted responsibility but the Taliban have in the past claimed such attacks.
Trucks travelling through Pakistan to supply US-led forces have frequently been attacked during Nato s 13-year intervention in Afghanistan.
The coalition is winding down operations in Afghanistan with its 51,000 combat troops due to pull out by the end of this year.
Late last year the United States suspended shipments of equipment out of Afghanistan through a key Pakistani route for a time.
The move came after Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan began forcibly searching trucks in an effort to halt Nato supplies in protest against US drone strikes in Pakistan.
