Attack on NATO container kills one

One person has been killed and two others wounded after unknown gunmen attacked a NATO container in Pakistan’s eastern province of Punjab.

Police officials told a Press TV correspondent that the person killed was the driver of the container carrying food supplies to US-led forces in Afghanistan.

Pakistan is the main supply route for the US-led forces in Afghanistan.

Afghanistan-based US and NATO forces receive up to 80 percent of their supplies via routes that pass through the Khyber region of northwestern Pakistan and the southwestern Chaman border-crossing in Balochistan.

Hundreds of vehicles carrying fuel and supplies for US-led forces in Afghanistan have been attacked and destroyed in Pakistan over the past three years.
