LANDIKOTAL, Pakistan (Reuters) - At least 16 people were killed in northwest Pakistan on Saturday after a bomb attack claimed by a militant group hit a truck carrying fuel supplies for NATO forces in Afghanistan, the latest attack in an upsurge in violence since Osama bin Laden was killed.
It took place near the Torkham border crossing in the Khyber region, the main route for moving supplies to NATO and American forces in Afghanistan.
"The tanker was on fire because of a blast late in the night. There was another blast early in the morning in the same tanker and 16 people who gathered near it to collect oil were killed," a senior local administration official in Khyber told Reuters.
Police officials said the first blast was caused by a bomb.
In another attack in the same region, a bomb struck 16 NATO fuel trucks late on Friday, setting them on fire. No one was hurt.
A country that housed Osama Bin Laden for over 7 years can never alter its colours, overnight [refer, "Secret behind Osama Bin Laden's Safe House in Abbottabad, Pakistan!", at http://prmadhura3.blogspot.com/2011/05/secret-behind-osama-bin-ladens-safe.html]. NATO better protect their supply chain through Pakistan or leave Afghanistan.
