QUETTA: Unknown miscreants opened fire at Nato oil tankers at Western Bypass in Quetta killing a driver.
The attackers set 10 tankers on blaze, which were on route to Chaman carrying supplies for Nato forces in Afghanistan. A driver was killed in the incident.
Wednesday's assault was the latest on supply convoys heading for Afghanistan since Pakistan shut a key border crossing to international forces last week.
Police official Shah Nawaz Khan says the attack occurred in the parking area of a roadside hotel on the outskirts of Quetta.
The attacks have raised tensions already elevated by Pakistan's decision to close the Torkham crossing in apparent reaction to alleged NATO helicopter strikes on its territory. One of those strikes killed three Pakistani soldiers.
