From Jihad Watch:
Pakistan: Jihadists torch more NATO tankers
But don't worry: the Pakistani authorities are on the case, so you can be sure the jihadists will be swiftly brought to justice! (Yes, that sentence is sarcastic.) "More NATO tankers torched in Pakistan," from Military World, December 30 (thanks to Twostellas):
Pakistani militants have attacked two NATO supply vehicles transporting fuel destined for US-led forces in Afghanistan and set them on fire in Baluchistan province.
A group of unidentified armed men opened fire on two tankers in Quetta -- the provincial capital of Baluchistan Province -- on Thursday morning. At least one driver was killed in the shootout, Pakistani news television channel AAJ TV reported.
The assailants later torched the tankers and fled the area in a vehicle. Their whereabouts is unknown.
Police cordoned off the area after the incident and launched a search operation to arrest the perpetrators.
The attack came a day after one person was killed and two others sustained injuries as militants attacked two NATO fuel tankers in Landi Kotal district of the border town of Torkham.
Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan militants regularly attack NATO convoys in Pakistan.
The US military and NATO rely heavily on the Pakistani supply route into landlocked Afghanistan, more so now that Taliban attacks are increasing....
