| Tanker carrying fuel for Nato blasted |
| 2008-08-16 |
| An oil tanker carrying fuel for the Nato forces in Afghanistan was blasted with a time device near the Michni Khassadar post on Friday. The vehicle was carrying 44,000 litres of fuel to Bagram in Afghanistan when it was exploded with a time device fixed beneath it. On suspicion of involvement, authorities detained the owner-cum-driver of the vehicle, who had escaped unhurt along with his vehicle while the fuel tank was destroyed. The authorities believe that the fuel tank might have been emptied before its explosion. Meanwhile, the political authorities in the Khyber Agency have sought decision of the honorary Subedars, getting out-of-turn promotion in the Khassadar Force, to either join the Levies Force or return to their original posts. If the decision is implemented, a good number of those serving against the post might well be sent home as most of them are serving in that capacity after their retirement. Sources said notices had been dispatched to all the three subdivisions of the Khyber Agency, seeking written response from the officials. |
