They made off with millions of dollars worth of sophisticated military equipment, according to The Washington Post . Approximately 60 masked militants belonging to Tehrik-i-Taliban blocked off part of a roadway in the Khyber Pass . The Taliban forces overran the Pakistani security forces, who were moving the shipment to an American military base, and briefly took the truck drivers prisoner. Although gunfire was exchanged, there were no casualties on either side. After releasing the drivers, the militants opened several captured cargo containers of wheat , distributing most of it to local residents. The attack, which took place in the North-West Frontier Province , occurred several miles outside the border town of Jamrud . It was celebrated by the victorious fighters who photographed themselves with the captured equipment. The Pakistani newspaper Dawn published a scathing editorial attacking the army's incompetence and heavy-handed response to the embarrassing loss, referring to the attack as disturbing "both for its audacity and possible implications."
