LANDI KOTAL, Nov 9: Four people were injured in Jamrud on Saturday when gunmen attacked two vehicles taking Nato military hardware to Karachi as part of foreign troops’ withdrawal from Afghanistan.

According to officials, the attacks were carried out on the Peshawar-Torkham highway near Shahgai and in Sur Kamar.

According to witnesses, the attackers were on motorbikes and military vehicles were among the hardware being transported.
