Taliban raids Nato convoys for second night

The taliban attacked a NATO supply base, not even a mile away from the distribution terminal that was attack yesterday, burning an additional 50 vehicles. The taliban terrorist scum were able to "overpower" the security guards and disarm them.

Some security Pakistan gives us, it's only for show. In the previous attack which saw 160 NATO vehicles torched, only a couple of lightly armed guards were protecting the warehouse. In another attack which the taliban captured a couple of Humvees, the Pakistani military was a silent spectator.

The attack came barely 24 hours after 200 militants destroyed more than 100 lorries in a Nato base barely a mile away. The trucks are needed to ferry vital equipment and supplies through the perilous Khyber Pass - the narrow mountain trail leading from Pakistan into Afghanistan.

"The militants came just past midnight, firing in the air, sprinkled petrol on containers and then set them on fire," said Mohammad Zaman, a security guard at the site quoted by Reuters.

"They told us they would not harm us, but they asked us not to work for the Americans."[...]

A senior police officer said the attack took place at 2.30am. "They fired rockets, hurled hand grenades and then set ablaze over one hundred trucks," he said.

One guard was killed and a fire swept through the parked vehicles. "They were shouting Allah-o-Akbar (God is Great) and Down With America. They broke into the terminals after snatching guns from us," said Mohammad Rafiullah, a security guard the the terminal.
