One dead as Nato oil tanker torched in Quetta

Gunmen torched an oil tanker carrying fuel for Nato troops in Afghanistan after killing its driver in Quetta on Sunday, police said.
Four people riding on two motorbikes shot dead the driver and then set fire to the vehicle in Mian Ghundai suburb of the provincial capital Quetta, local police officer Fareed Waraich told AFP. The driver's helper jumped out of the vehicle which was totally gutted, he said adding that the body of the driver was charred beyond recognition. "The driver apparently received fatal injuries and could not escape," the official said adding that the attackers fled on their motorcycles. No group has claimed responsibility for the blast.
