"NATO Tankers Ablaze"

In the first week of October 2010, gunmen attacked hundreds of tankers, carrying fuel for NATO forces in Afghanistan, in retaliation for a cross border raid which killed two Pakistani soldiers dead. On October 7, 2010 over 70 tankers burned in Nowshera, where the people in the last several years have dealt with the Kashmir earthquake, a military offensive in the Swat Valley and the 2010 floods.
