The Taliban frequently attack trucks carrying supplies for U.S.-led foreign forces in Pakistan's northwest and southwest bordering Afghanistan, but the attack near Islamabad late on Tuesday was unprecedented.

"Seven people were killed and more than 50 trucks were set on fire," police official Ghulam Mustafa said. Six people were wounded.

Police said 10 to 12 gunmen attacked the trucks, parked at a depot in Tarnol.

How many people has NATO killed in Af-Pak since the beginning of the war? A shame so many children are being killed. And for what? Every time I see articles like this I question why we're still in Af-Pak (not to mention Iraq) more and more.
