Nato oil tanker was damaged when explosives attached with the vehicle went off at Western by-pass area of Quetta, police said on Friday. Station House Officer Shalkot Police Station Malik Fareed told this scribe that Nato tanker carrying oil for the ISAF forces in Afghanistan was parked at the Filhal petroleum when an explosive attached under the tanker exploded, damaging the rare portion of a tanker.
Police soon after the incident reached the site and arrested the driver Ghulam Shabir and conductor Mubarak Ali as preliminary reports suggested that the tanker was merely filled with the oil, said SHO.
