NATO supply truck attacked in Pakistan

Taliban-linked militants in Pakistan have attacked a NATO supply convoy carrying supplies for US-led foreign troops in neighboring Afghanistan. Officials told (Press TV) that gunmen ridding on motorcycles opened fire at a NATO container at Bypass area of Chaman in southwestern Balochistan province late on Wednesday. The NATO container sustained damage and the driver was injured in the attack. He was transferred to a local hospital by security forces. Militants frequently target trucks carrying supplies for US-led foreign soldiers in Afghanistan. Pro-Taliban militants often claim responsibility for such attacks, saying that the assaults are in retaliation for non-UN-sanctioned airstrikes by US assassination drones on Pakistan''s tribal regions. Washington claims the strikes target what it describes as anti-American militants, but figures indicate that the attacks have led to the deaths of hundreds of unarmed civilians.
