Unidentified gunmen on Monday attacked NATO oil supply tankers in Khairpur district of Sindh, killing one man and injuring three others and destroying 10 vehicles, police said. The tankers were attacked when the drivers and crew were having tea at a roadside restaurant. “Two drivers and a member of the restaurant staff were wounded and 10 NATO oil tankers were burnt when about two dozen armed gunmen opened fire at them,” local police official Mohammad Hashim told AFP earlier.
Hashim said that it was too early to say who could be behind the attack, but Taliban and al Qaeda-linked militants frequently launch such attacks across the country and the Tribal Areas along the Afghan border. He said no group had yet claimed responsibility for the attack. Local government and intelligence officials confirmed the attack.
