| Taliban militants launched a pre-dawn raid on NATO terminals in Pakistan Sunday, torching nearly 160 supply trucks and other vehicles destined for troops in Afghanistan, police said. About 250 heavily armed militants attacked two major terminals in the northwestern city of Peshawar, disarming security guards before dousing the trucks in petrol and setting them alight. One guard was killed in the audacious attack, which also destroyed two armored vehicles, two fire engines, ammunition containers and 89 jeeps meant for international troops in Afghanistan. Police described the attack, on three different locations in the city, as the biggest of its kind so far. |

| #5 And another 50, last night, a mile away. That's a message. What's the old saying? "Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action." Auric Goldfinger, IIRC... |

| #3 Police officer Qamar said the number of guards at the terminal had been increased in the wake of the earlier attack, but they were overwhelmed by the sheer number of militants. But only one guard was...... KIA? |
