PAKISTAN: Trucks supplying fuel for NATO forces in Afghanistan torched
The roads connecting Pakistan to Afghanistan continue to be dangerous as the Taliban tries to hamper supply lines for United States-led forces.
On Saturday in the northwestern city of Peshawar, insurgents didn't even wait for the supply trucks to leave the depot. Two dozen gunmen reportedly torched at least eight trucks used to supply fuel for NATO forces in Afghanistan, police said.
No casualties were reported.

America keeps getting proof after proof that it's enemy is inside the borders of Pakistan and not outside. And how does America respond? She throws money at Pakistan! What an incentive for Pakistan to keep the pot boiling. We have STUPID written on our brow! Funny thing is that we think we are smart. Very dangerous combination and path to self destruction.
