Four NATO oil tankers torched in Pakistan
KARACHI: Gunmen on Thursday torched four oil tankers in southern Pakistan carrying fuel for NATO troops in Afghanistan, police said.
Gunmen attacked the vehicles, parked at a roadside restaurant near the agricultural town of Shikarpur, 400 kilometres (250 miles) north of Karachi, police official Ashraf Chandio told AFP by telephone.
The assailants fired several rounds of bullets on the vehicles with automatic weapons and after setting them on fire fled on motorbikes, Chandio said, adding that there were no casualties.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, which occurred in Sindh province. It was the first such attack in the province in nearly two and half months.

Pakistan is the largest single route into Afghanistan for supplies and equipment required by foreign forces, although the United States has increasingly tried to find alternative routes through Central Asia.
