A bomb attack in Pakistan has destroyed 16 tankers carrying fuel for US-led forces in Afghanistan.

Afghan police say the attack took place on Saturday at a terminal close to the city of Peshawar in northwestern Pakistan. Firefighters are trying to put out the fire.

Rescuers say they could not find any casualties as the fire was at its most intense level. No group has yet claimed responsibility. Many of the non-lethal supplies for the war in Afghanistan are trucked overland through Pakistan after being unloaded at the port city of Karachi. Militants frequently attack the trucks, though the vast majority of supplies makes it through unscathed.
