Nato-tankers attacked in Quetta

PESHAWAR: A small bomb damaged a truck in Quetta on Tuesday morning that was carrying oil to NATO troops in Afghanistan — the latest attack on stalled supply convoys since Pakistan shut a key border crossing to international forces last week.

The attacks have raised tensions that were already elevated by Pakistan's decision to close the Torkham crossing in apparent reaction to a series of alleged NATO helicopter attacks on Pakistani territory, including one that killed three Pakistani soldiers.
