| [Pak Daily Times] Taliban attacked two NATO supply trucks in Landikotal early on Wednesday, killing a driver and wounding two conductors, officials said. Driver Fida Afridi was killed, while his two helpers Takbeerullah of Karkhano Bazaar and Hassan of Charsada sustained injuries when Taliban opened fire with automatic rifles near Landikotal bazaar on the Torkham Road, they said. They also fired at another truck, but the driver sped to safety along with his staff. Officials said the cut-throats fled after the attack, and confirmed that the trucks were carrying goods for NATO troops in Afghanistan. Local people strongly condemned the killings of transporters and asked the government to ensure peace in the Khyber region. Meanwhile, ...back at the ranch... five FC personnel sustained injuries in a gas cylinder blast in an FC barrack in Landikotal. The incident occurred in the Landikotal Cantonment on Tuesday night, official sources confirmed. In another incident, unidentified gunnies destroyed a tanker carrying oil for the NATO forces in Ganchadori area of Mastung in Balochistan, on Wednesday, say Levis forces. |
