Pakistan militants attack parked NATO fuel convoy.
- 13 years ago
A raging inferno as NATO supply trucks loaded with fuel burn through the night.
Almost 30 vehicles went up in flames as militants in Pakistan fired a rocket-propelled grenade at the convoy late on Thursday.
The vehicles had been parked near Quetta since Pakistan stopped supplies to NATO forces in Afghanistan in retaliation for an attack last week that killed 24 soldiers.
On Friday morning smoke still rose from the burnt-outvehicle shells.
Thousands of trucks loaded with supplies are now parked in various locations across Pakistan.
The drivers of vehicles carrying fuel and other supplies are in constant fear of being attacked by Pakistani Taliban militants who're against cooperation with NATO.
