| Senior US officials on Monday held a meeting with Pakistani officials to discuss Sunday night’s explosions that set fire to oil tankers carrying fuel to US and NATO forces in Afghanistan, sources told Daily Times. About 50 people were injured when a series of explosions triggered a huge fire that burnt 30 to 40 oil tankers parked near the Torkham border crossing on Sunday. “The US delegation was concerned over security and wanted smooth transportation of fuel to the American and coalition forces in Afghanistan,” a Pakistani official who attended the meeting told Daily Times. “The meeting was aimed at strengthening coordination on the border and making the process of Customs clearance quicker, so that supply of goods to the American and NATO forces in Afghanistan could be made convenient,” a source added. |
