"We arrested a gang of 12 people who have been involved in destroying NATO containers," Corps front man Abdul Wassey told AFP.

He said the suspects also confessed to torching the NATO vehicles and killing or wounding their drivers.

"Cars used by these gangsters in the crimes were also recovered," he added.

The group was being interrogated for information about similar gangs operating in different areas of Balochistan, the front man said.

The arrests come days after nine NATO tankers carrying fuel were destroyed in the Hub area on their way to the Chaman border crossing to Afghanistan.

Overland oil shipments to NATO troops in landlocked Afghanistan resumed through Pakistain less than two weeks ago under tighter security after a five-month suspension due to attacks.
