2 oil tankers explode on highway
2007-05-19
Two oil tankers carrying fuel for NATO forces in Afghanistan exploded near Saranan on the Quetta-Chaman highway on Friday, police told APP. The tankers were parked on the highway when the explosion occurred. The force of the explosion overturned them, and a blaze started shortly afterwards but no one was hurt. “The cause of the explosion is not clear,” police said, adding that the drivers and conductors are missing and it is not known if they escaped. They said no one had accepted responsibility for the explosion and an investigation was currently in progress.

#1  I smell fish. I'm no expert, but parking vehicles of the highway can't possibly be regular procedure.

I hope this isn't a sign of more Iraq settle insurgent attacks in Afghanistan.
