Islamabad: At least 30
NATO oil tankers and containers were torched in a rocket attack at
a terminal in Pakistan Thursday night, state-run television
network PTV reported. There were no reports of any casualties.
Unidentified people attacked with rockets the private container
terminal at Kharot Abad area near Quetta, capital of Balochistan
province, Xinhua said. Firing also followed the rocket attack.
More than 35 NATO oil tankers and containers were parked at the
terminal when the attack took place, said local media reports.
No one was killed or injured in the attack, the reports said.
Six fire engines were dispatched to the site after the attack was
reported.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Thousands of NATO supply convoys are stranded in Pakistani
territory following the government's decision to block the supply
lines via Pakistan in protest against the NATO air strike which
killed 24 Pakistani soldiers Nov 26.
