By KUNA,

Islamabad : Suspected militants attacked and destroyed at least 90 more trucks carrying supplies for NATO forces in Afghanistan in northern Pakistani city of Peshawar. The incident came only a day after militants destroyed about 150 trucks, loaded with supplies and military vehicles and other hardware, for forces in a similar attack. Police sources told KUNA that around 30 militants early Monday attacked trucks at Bilal Container Terminal in Peshawar, capital of North-West Frontier Province (NWFP), with rockets, hand-grenade bombs and other explosive material. They said at the time of attack about 150 trucks were parked at the terminal. They added that there heavy exchange of fire also took place between the militants and security personnel deployed at the terminal but there were no casualties. Earlier on Sunday morning at least 150 trucks were set on fire by militants who attacked two terminals on the citys main Ring Road. This was the most severe assault so far on NATO supplies in the region that killed a security guard also. The two terminals were littered with burnt Humvees, cranes, military trucks and hardware.
