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.
