                     Gunmen Kill NATO Driver in NW Pakistan

   Unidentified gunmen opened fire on a convoy of NATO containers in
   northwestern Pakistan Friday, killing a driver and wounding another
   person.
   Authorities say the attack took place in Shagai area, about 20
   kilometers southeast of Landi Kotal, the main town of the restive
   Khyber region.
   Local tribal police official Khan Dad said the gunmen opened fire from
   the nearby mountains as the convoy entered Pakistan from Afghanistan.
   The convoy was heading for the port city of Karachi.
   Khyber is one of seven districts that make up Pakistan`s
   semi-autonomous tribal belt where Taliban and Islamist militants often
   stage attacks. Pakistan is a key transit route for the NATO mission in
   Afghanistan, from where supplies are driven to the border from the
   Arabian Sea port of Karachi.
   Earlier Friday in Peshawar, a suicide bomber attacked the vehicle of a
   religious leader, killing three people.
   Authorities say the leader, Haji Hayatullah, was not in the vehicle
   when it was attacked.
   His driver, a bodyguard, and a passerby were killed in the blast.
   No one has claimed responsibility.
