Highway Robbery!
Wednesday, November 12, 2008
Militants in Pakistan have looted 12 trucks carrying supplies for Western forces in Afghanistan, officials say.
The trucks were carrying two Humvee armoured vehicles and food supplies. They were hijacked on Monday as they travelled through the Khyber Pass.
Later, the trucks were found abandoned in a valley. There is no word yet on the 26 people who were taken captive.
The road is a major supply route for US and Western forces battling against the Taleban in neighbouring Afghanistan.
Hauliers say that over 350 trucks daily carry an average of 7,000 tonnes of goods over the Khyber Pass to Kabul
