Armed Taliban attacked a NATO supply terminal in the provincial capital on Thursday and destroyed eight trucks, according to police. Police official Muhammad Rasool told Daily times that about 40 Taliban attacked the Farhad Supply Terminal, located on Ring Road, at 3:45am. He said that although NATO supply trucks were loaded at the terminal, not a single truck of the force had been hit in the attack, as all the destroyed vehicles were owned by locals. Of the eight trucks destroyed, only two were carrying goods. Another police official, Ghafoor Khan Afridi, said the Taliban hurled several petrol bombs at the terminal. He said police and the Taliban also engaged in a 30-minute crossfire, but the assailants managed to escape.
