Key NATO supply route hit again in Pakistan

Last Monday more than 20 NATO and US oil tankers were set fire to as they drove supplies from Islamabad, Pakistan to troops in Afghanistan. The trucks were on their way to bring food, clothing and fuel to troops in Afghanistan and received little protection through the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan and were under fire as soon as they parked. They attackers remain unknown yet there are many theories on their identity. Some suspect it to be the work of terrorists while some blame the incident on bandits wanting to sell the damaged supplies. It is speculated that the route will be reopened in under a week.
