| LANDI KOTAL: A bomb exploded in an oil tanker at around 6:30am here on Tuesday, while the bomb disposal squad defused another bomb attached to an oil tanker at Torkham. The explosion at Landi Kotal luckily did not ignite the oil tanker that was carrying 40,000 litres of oil for NATO forces in Afghanistan. After the blast, oil from a portion of the tanker flowed onto the main road. The other bomb attached to an oil tanker at the Torkham border was seen by a watchman, who raised an alarm. The administration immediately called the bomb disposal squad from Peshawar and they successfully defused the bomb. This tanker was also carrying oil for the NATO forces. |
