JAMRUD:
Unidentified men attacked a convoy of Nato containers with rockets near the Baghiari checkpost in Jamrud, damaging four containers, Express News reported on Monday.
There was an exchange of fire as well between khasadar officials and the attackers.
Today’s attack on Nato containers is not the first time the trucks have come under attack. Nato vehicles are frequently targeted by militants while carrying goods to and from Afghanistan.
A history of violence
On April 15, two people were killed and as many were severely injured in Jamrud when unidentified militants had attacked vehicles supplying goods to foreign troops stationed in Afghanistan. Ali Sher, an official of the Jamrud political administration, had said three attacks were carried out on Nato vehicles in different areas.
On March 4, two drivers of vehicles carrying Nato goods were killed and a cleaner injured when armed men opened fire at them in Sur Kamar, Jamrud.
In December last year, a group of armed men had attacked two containers carrying relief goods for Nato in the Dhadar area of Balochistan. No one was hurt in the attack.
