Gunmen Shoot up NATO Oil Tanker in Southwest Pakistan

Gunmen in restive southwest Pakistan on Sunday fired bullets at an oil tanker carrying fuel bound for NATO troops in Afghanistan, setting the vehicle and a car ablaze, police said.
  
Sunday's incident occurred around 200 kilometers (140 miles) southeast of Quetta -- the capital of Baluchistan -- a province rife with militancy, sectarian violence and ethnic insurgency.
  
"Two gunmen riding a motorcycle intercepted a NATO oil tanker in Dera Murad Jamali city and fired bullets at it," local police official Ali Gohar Lehri told AFP. "The tanker and a car close to it caught flames," he added.
