| NATO truck driver killed in Pakistan |
| 2009-02-09 |
| Gunmen in Pakistan's Baluchistan province have attacked a truck carrying supplies for NATO-led troops in Afghanistan, killing the driver. Tribal rebels opened fire on the truck in the Lakorain area of Khuzdar district in the insurgency-hit southwestern Baluchistan province, killing the driver and seriously wounding his assistant, police officials told Press TV on Sunday. The Baluch Republican Army, that has been waging a four-year armed campaign for political autonomy and greater share of the province's natural resources, claimed responsibility for the attack. The province has also been hit by several attacks blamed on Taliban militants. The incident comes a day after suspected Taliban militants near Peshawar, the capital city of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) destroyed two trucks destined for NATO forces in Afghanistan. |
