Nato oil tankers attacked in Quetta: officials

QUETTA: Gunmen on motorbikes attacked two tankers carrying oil for Nato forces in Afghanistan on Wednesday, setting the vehicles ablaze in Pakistan's restive southwest, officials said.

The attack took place near the town of Dadar in Bolan district, 90 kilometres southeast of Quetta, the capital of Balochistan province, local tribal police official Abdul Aziz told AFP.

Unknown gunmen on motorbikes signalled the vehicles to stop and opened fire when the driver ignored them, Aziz said. There were no casualties, he added.

Local intelligence officials confirmed the attack.
