More than 160 US, NATO vehicles burned in Pakistan

I believe the Pakistani military is turning a blind eye to all of the attacks on NATO's supply route. The last time the taliban attacked a NATO supply convoy, stealing a couple of Humvees, the Pakistani army was accused of being "silent spectators".

This time an entire logistics terminal was attacked destroying up to 160 military vehicles including 70 Humvees. One of the owners of the terminal stated that the Pakistani army had only stationed a couple of lightly armed guards.

What will it take before our governments realize that Pakistan is not really not our side.

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Gunmen blasted their way into two transport terminals in Pakistan on Sunday and torched more than 160 vehicles destined for U.S.-led troops in Afghanistan, in the biggest assault yet on a vital military supply line, officials said.

The U.S. military said its losses in the raid near the northwestern city of Peshawar would have "minimal" impact on anti-Taliban operations, set to expand with the arrival of thousands more American troops next year.

However, the attack will fuel concern that insurgents are trying to choke the route through the famed Khyber Pass, which carries up to 70 percent of the supplies for Western forces in landlocked Afghanistan, and drive up the cost of the war.

The owner of one of the terminals hit Sunday denied government claims that security was boosted after a raid last month near the pass in which militants made off with one Humvee and later paraded it before journalists.

"We don't feel safe here at all," Kifayatullah Khan told The Associated Press next to the still-smouldering vehicles, predicting that most of his night watchmen would now quit their jobs out of fear. "It is almost impossible for us to continue with this business."
