New attack on supplies for Nato forces

Suspected militants have attacked another terminal in northwest Pakistan for trucks ferrying supplies to Nato and US forces in Afghanistan.

The attack early today in Peshawar was the second in as many days in the city on a transit area for Afghanistan-bound trucks.

Terminal labourer Altaf Hussain says there was a loud explosion and several militants stormed the facility.

A reporter at the scene saw several dozen torched military vehicles that were to be trucked to Afghanistan.

Up to 75% of the supplies for Nato and US troops in landlocked Afghanistan first pass through Pakistan.
