several vehicles, the police and witnesses said. Militants have repeatedly targeted trucks and tankers ferrying supplies to Afgh-anistan in the volatile north-western part of Pakistan but this was the first time that such vehicles were attacked near Islamabad. It was also one of the worst attacks on Nato supply vehicles. The attack was carried out at around midnight when the vehicles were parked at the Tarnol depot in a suburb of Islamabad. Taliban-linked Al Qaeda Punjab later claimed responsibility for the unprecedented attack. PHOTO: AP
