There is no good in much of their secret conferences save (in) whosoever enjoineth charity and fairness and peace-making among the people and whoso doeth that, seeking the good pleasure of God, We shall bestow on him a vast reward.

NATO trucks attacked near Islamabad

Wed, 09 Jun 2010 12:27:07 GMT

Pro-Taliban gunmen in Pakistan have attacked nearly 50 NATO vehicles carrying supplies for the US-led troops in neighboring Afghanistan. 

At least eight people were killed in the attack that took place near the Pakistani capital, Islamabad. Police officials told Press TV that NATO supply trailers, containers and fuel tankers caught fire during the attack. 

Trucks carrying supplies for foreign forces in Afghanistan frequently come under attack in Pakistan. 

Pakistan's lawless tribal belt on the Afghan border remains a safe haven for militants who have fled the 2001 US-led invasion of Afghanistan. 

Nearly 4,000 people have been killed in militant attacks throughout Pakistan since July 2007.
