Militants target NATO fuel truck in Pakistan

Wed Nov 25, 2009

A group of militants in North West Frontier Province (NWFP) have ambushed a truck carrying fuel to neighboring Afghanistan for NATO forces stationed there.

The attack, which took place outside the northwestern city of Peshawar on Wednesday, left the truck driver and his assistant dead.

The incident comes a day after a convoy of oil tankers was ambushed in the southwestern parts of the country.

The Tuesday attack left one driver dead and four trucks completely destroyed.

Trucks carrying supplies for foreign forces in Afghanistan frequently come under attack in Pakistan.

Pakistan's lawless tribal belt on the Afghan border remains a safe haven for militants, who have fled the 2001 US-led invasion of Afghanistan.
