| Taliban attack terminal storing NATO supplies |
| 2008-12-13 |
| The Taliban on Friday targeted with rockets another terminal storing supplies for NATO forces in Afghanistan, according to police. Police officials told Daily Times that there were no casualties or damage in the attack that came around 3am. But the NNI news agency reported that a 'dozen or more' containers were destroyed after 10 rockets were fired at the terminal on Ring Road. NNI said police had arrested five suspects and more arrests were likely. It quoted police as saying that security had been tightened around the terminals on Ring Road, but those working at the terminals said the security was not sufficient. On Thursday, a blast at Bilal Terminal damaged four NATO trucks parked there. Police sources told Daily Times that fire brigade units managed to prevent the ensuing fire from spreading to other trucks and containers stored at the terminal. Friday's incident was the fourth in a series of attacks targeting NATO supplies on Peshawar's Ring Road since the beginning of the month. |

| #1 As odd as it sounds, it's refreshing to see the Taliban target genuine military targets. I guess they ran out of acid to splash on little girls. Now how about some action from the Paks to defend their infrastructure? |
