巴基斯坦激進分子襲擊北約車隊
Officials in Pakistan say militants have attacked a NATO convoy in the northwestern part of the country, killing six people.
The attack happened Monday near Jamrud, in the Khyber district located along the Afghan border.
Officials said at least 15 militants used rockets and automatic weapons to attack trucks carrying supplies for coalition troops in Afghanistan. The attack left several of the trucks on fire.
The dead included truck drivers and their assistants.
Militant attacks are common in northwestern Pakistan’s semi-autonomous tribal belt.
Pakistan is a key transit route for the NATO mission in Afghanistan, from where supplies are driven to the border from the Arabian Sea port of Karachi.巴基斯坦官員說，激進分子在這個國家的北部地區攻擊一個北約車隊，打死六人。襲擊行動星期一發生在與阿富汗交界的開伯爾地區城鎮賈姆拉德附近。
