Six NATO fuel tankers torched in Peshawar
Six tankers supplying fuel to NATO forces in Afghanistan were gutted and a guard sustained injuries after suspected Taliban opened fire on them on Thursday, police said. A Chamkani police official told Daily Times that five militants equipped with sophisticated weapons and rocket launchers entered the Pakistan Oil Tanker terminal at Jhagra Chowk at around 3am and opened fire on the tankers parked there. He said the guard, Razam Khan, sustained injuries and six tankers were charred. He said at least three blasts were also heard, but the cause was not certain yet. The official said the fire was put out after seven hours of struggle.Posted by: Fred 2009-04-24 |
