5 NATO oil tankers gutted

QUETTA: At least five NATO oil tankers were destroyed Friday in two separate attacks by militants. In the first attack, four NATO oil tankers were torched Friday afternoon by unidentified people near Quetta.

Later in the second attack another NATO oil tanker was attacked and set on fire following a huge blast at a NATO oil tankers terminal near a market in Torkham bordering Afghanistan.
Prior to this, currently about 70 percent of the NATO supplies are shipped into Afghanistan through two border ports in Pakistan, namely the Chaman port in Balochistan and the Torkham port in Khyber Agency in northwest Pakistan. Online
