Militants in northwestern Pakistan today shot dead four people and blew up at least 11 tankers carrying fuel for NATO troops in neighbouring Afghanistan. According to police, the rebels struck at a terminal on the outskirts of the city of Peshawar. Senior police official Imtiaz Shah said more than two dozen militants entered the terminal and planted timed devices on 12 out of a total 18 fuel tankers parked there. He said 11 tankers were blown up while the device planted on one of the vehicles did not explode, and that the militants shot dead two guards and two drivers who resisted them. Shah said those who attacked the terminal were all militants and said he did not know which group they belonged to. Another senior police official, Muhammad Ejaz, said the militants fled after blowing up the tankers. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
