FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The incident took place on Tuesday near a market in the Jamrud town on the outskirts of Peshawar as the truck was carrying supplies for the US-led troops deployed in neighboring Afghanistan, local administration official Bakhtiar Khan said.
“Two armed men, riding on a motorbike, opened fire on a container carrying supplies for NATO troops across the border and killed its driver,” AFP quoted Khan as saying. He added that an occupant, accompanying the driver, had also been seriously injured.
Another administration official said that the attacked truck was part of a convoy of three or four vehicles which were travelling to Afghanistan without security protection.
It was the first such attack since Islamabad agreed to reopen the routes on its soil, used for carrying supplies to the US-led forces in Afghanistan, on July 3. Pakistan closed the border crossings in November 2011 after 24 Pakistani soldiers were killed in US-led airstrikes on two checkpoints on the Afghan border.
The decision came after US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she was “sorry for the losses suffered by the Pakistani military.”
People across Pakistan have staged several demonstrations against the government’s decision to reopen the passageways.
