DHAKA: Four Taliban militants struck a Nato post in the eastern Afghan province of Nangarhar on Thursday, destroying dozens of trucks and sparking a gun battle with the police.
Afghan officials said, reports The Straits Times.
The attack took place in the parking compound of a Nato base near the Torkham crossing on the Pakistani border, near the Khyber Pass and a main supply route for Nato-led forces in land-locked Afghanistan.
Militants on both sides of the border have for years been attacking supplies bound for Nato-led forces in Afghanistan.
Ahmad Zia Abdulzai, a spokesman for the provincial governor, said one attacker blew himself up, while police killed the other three.
