Taliban destroy NATO fuel tanker
2009-07-15
LANDIKOTAL: Suspected Taliban destroyed a NATO oil tanker in the Khyber Agency on Tuesday, triggering retaliatory mortar shelling that killed two men and injured two others. The oil tanker was carrying 40,000 liters of oil to Afghanistan when the Taliban opened fire on it. Fifteen-year-old Shahan Khan Afridi and tanker cleaner Nasir Khan Shelmani were killed in the shelling. The driver of the tanker, Gul Syed Shinwari, and Irfan Khan, another resident of the area, were injured. Two vehicles of the Khasadar Force were also damaged and one Khasadar was injured, a subedar told Daily Times.

#1  So how did a tanker cleaner get killed in retaliatory shelling? Really bad aim? Or he was moonlighting as a tanker bomber?
