Nato container attacked in Jamrud

PESHAWAR: At least two people were killed on Monday when unidentified militants attacked Nato containers in the Jamrud tehsil of Khyber tribal region. The unknown gunmen opened fire at three Nato containers in the Wazir Dhand area of Jamrud tehsil after which the containers caught fire and were soon set ablaze. Khyber lie in the northwestern parts of Pakistan with Khyber being the country’s seven semi-autonomous tribal districts near the Afghan border, rife with homegrown insurgents and home to a number of militant organisations. The tribal region of Khyber also links several agencies to each other, serving as a north-south route within the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata). Moreover, the bulk of supplies and equipment required by foreign troops in Afghanistan is shipped through Khyber, although US troops increasingly use alternative routes through central Asia.
