Peshawar - Pakistani police say suspected militants have killed a policeman and torched 62 trucks at a terminal used to supply Nato and US troops in Afghanistan.

Police official Kashif Alam says about 30 assailants attacked the terminal near the northwestern city of Peshawar with rockets and guns early on Sunday.

Alam says fire engulfed 62 trucks and containers likely carrying supplies to foreign forces in Afghanistan.

A series of similar attacks in recent weeks have raised concern that Taliban militants are seeking to disrupt what is a vital supply line for Nato and US forces through the Khyber Pass.

If Khyber Pass is a vital military supply route then this smoldering war will be going on for a few hundred more years.
