Behind bars Suspect in NATO terminal attack arrested

PESHAWAR: The counter-terrorism department (CTD) has arrested a key suspect who was involved in an attack on Rehman Baba Nato supply terminal in 2014 from the city. According to a handout issued by CTD, Jan Muhammad, a resident of Bara in Khyber Agency who affiliated with a banned militant outfit, was arrested on Saturday. Vehicles worth millions of rupees were destroyed when the supply terminal came under attack last year. Nato supply trucks – which carry everything from fuel to munitions and food – often come under attack on their journey between Karachi and border crossing points. Pakistani supply lines have been disrupted in the past because of tensions between the Unites States and Pakistan.
