Islamabad - At least 13 Islamic militants were killed in clashes with government troops in north-west Pakistan while Taliban gunmen seized a convoy of trucks carrying military vehicles and supplies for NATO troops in Afghanistan, security officials said Tuesday.
Dozens of masked militants blocked a highway Monday in the Khyber tribal area, which lies on the Afghan border, and hijacked a dozen trucks ferrying supplies for NATO forces in Afghanistan.
One of the trucks was carrying two armoured Humvees, which militants were later seen driving in the district's Jamrud area, a local security official said.
