Pakistan Taliban destroy 54 NATO vehicles

PESHAWAR, Pakistan - More than 54 NATO vehicles were destroyed in two separate Taliban attacks in Pakistan on Wednesday as the militants stepped up their efforts to disrupt supply routes into Afghanistan.

In the latest attack at least 26 NATO oil tankers were torched when militants opened fire on a convoy of dozens of vehicles parked in Nowshera in northwestern Pakistan, police said.

Earlier militants attacked a depot housing 40 NATO oil tankers on the outskirts of the southwestern city of Quetta, killing a member of staff and destroying at least 18 vehicles.
