Militants destroy 12 NATO trucks in Pakistan

---

PESHAWAR, Mar 28 (AFP): Taliban militants in Pakistan destroyed Saturday 12 parked trucks laden with supplies for NATO forces in neighbouring Afghanistan during a heavy battle with police, an official said.
Fighters armed with rockets and petrol bombs besieged the Farhad terminal on the edge of the northwest city Peshawar, police said, the latest in a series of strikes targeting goods bound for foreign forces across the border.
"There were no casualties in the attack, but the fire gutted 12 trucks loaded with NATO supplies," local police station chief Fazal Wahid told the reporter.
"We had to call reinforcements from other police stations as Taliban outnumbered the local force and were heavily armed," Wahid said.
