 Afghan and US-led coalition forces on Wednesday arrested five men suspected of being Taliban rebels responsible for a deadly attack on a Pakistani-owned fuel tanker after it delivered gasoline to a US base in southern Afghanistan, The Associated Press reported. The truck's Pakistani driver and assistant were killed in the assault late on Tuesday in Spin Boldak district, which is next to the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Afghan and coalition troops fanned out across the area Wednesday morning, searching for the attackers. The five were arrested in a village in the area, district police chief Mohammed Raz said. |
