Islamabad : Pakistani Islamic rebels attacked and seized US and NATO provisioning vehicles in the Afghan border, reported Tuesday military sources.
According to the sources, several dozens of masked rebels seized 13 trucks and two armored Humvees (high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles) carrying supplies for the US-NATO joint troops when crossing the Khyber Pass.
The rebels sent their photographs driving the trucks to the media and those news agencies reported that 12 to 15 Pakistani drivers were captured during the attack and later released.
Security forces blocked the main road from Peshawar through the pass to the Torkham border to plan a rescue operation, and army helicopters attacked the rebels in the area.
Military spokespeople reported that seven civilians were injured during the air attacks, including a child.
