Nine Nato tankers set ablaze

Nine Nato oil supply tankers and a goods truck were set ablaze in attacks on Monday, officials said. A bomb exploded as two Nato oil tankers were entering a terminal in Torkham, a Pakistani tribal town bordering Afghanistan, and the flames also set three other tankers alight, they said.
A sixth vehicle, a goods truck loaded with supplies for Nato troops stationed in Afghanistan, was also burnt in the ensuing blaze, Mutahar Zeb, an administrator in the lawless Khyber tribal district, told AFP. Zeb said that separately two more Nato tankers were damaged and a driver and his helper were wounded when militants fired at them, but the vehicles did not catch fire. Elsewhere, gunmen fired at up to 10 Nato oil tankers parked outside a roadside restaurant in Adda Mohammad Wala, some 100 kilometres (60 miles) west of the city of Multan, police official Mian Javed said.
