Militants blow up another NATO oil tanker near Peshawar : police
Suspected militants armed with guns and rockets on Monday blew up a tanker carrying fuel through Pakistan for Nato troops based in neighbouring Afghanistan, police said.
Several armed men lobbed a rocket and then opened fire on the supply convoy on the outskirts of Peshawar, senior police officer Imtiaz Ahmed said.
The attack triggered a huge fire and destroyed one tanker. Its driver escaped unhurt but his helper was wounded, he said.
In a subsequent exchange of fire lasting up to an hour, security forces killed a militant, another police officer Karim Khan said.
Police did not immediately identify the assailants, but the Taliban and members of local militant group Lashkar-e-Islam regularly attack Nato supply vehicles on the main route through northwest Pakistan.
