Gunmen carry out first attack on NATO convoy in Pakistan since supply route reopened, 1 killed

K.M. Chaudary/Associated Press - Pakistani truck drivers, chant prayer before breaking their fast, on the third day of the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan, in Lahore, Pakistan, Monday, July 23, 2012.
