NATO fuel tankers set ablaze in Pakistan

[Chinese-Dragon]

The resentment and the blame game only allows our common enemies a free pass to continue their mission against our nations, and we can all see that they are not wasting any time, and are taking full advantage of the current situation.

That is true, the terrorists are the common enemy for us all.

However... what the USA is doing, is moving the frontlines away from the American mainland, and into places like Pakistan and Afghanistan.

The USA is essentially using Pakistan as a human shield, so when the terrorist groups strike back, they kill Pakistani citizens instead of American citizens. Tell me, if you were in their place, would you be satisfied with this arrangement?

Was just reading that US does not pay for the fuel till it reaches them so it is costing Pakistanis? and not to mention the drivers who will lose work over it.

Dear CENTCOM i will agree with the whole of your above statement if you can answer this question of mine .

If AQ who killed around 3000 people in Twin tower are terrorists , OK i agree they are .

now

on this WOT you & your Allies have killed around half a million innocent civilians , You killed 150 times more then they have , now What are you ??

similarly or analogous to the same logic i can say pak army is also terrorist because of condoning hundreds of death in drone attacks and also wreaking havoc by pouring about 10000 bomns on tribal people and causing numerous civilians deaths

And if Pak Army didn't allow those drone attacks and dropping 10000 bombs you brainless fools would come complaining that Pak army is harboring terrorists blah blah blah.

Nine Nato oil tankers gutted, driver killed

A driver was killed and nine Nato oil tankers parked outside a hotel in the Bolan district were destroyed on Sunday night when unidentified men opened fire and torched the vehicles.

The oil tankers were returning to Karachi after the Balochistan government decided to send back all oil tankers and containers carrying supplies for Nato forces in Afghanistan for security reasons.

Chief Minister Nawab Aslam Raisani had declared that Nato tankers and containers were vulnerable to attacks after a rocket attack at a terminal in Quetta left dozens of vehicles loaded with Nato supplies were gutted on Thursday.

At present, over 350 oil tankers and containers are parked in Quetta and the border town of Chaman.

Sources said that nine oil tankers were parked outside a hotel on the outskirts of Dhadar town in Bolan district when four armed men on two motorcycles opened fire at them. Then they put the tankers on fire and escaped.

One driver, identified as Noman, a resident of Peshawar, was killed in the attack, police said.

Hundreds of loaded trucks were stranded in the country after the government blocked Nato supply routes to protest against a Nov 26 Nato air attack on two border posts in Mohmand Agency that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers.

Now what kind of Talibani don't want NATO oil to be blocked and returned to Pakistanis.

Looks like an insurance job.

Apparently these tankers don't meet the requirements/not needed in the Pakistani domestic supply chain.

I don't see was the point of this when the Americans only pay for fuel once it reaches them so really it is hurting Pakistanis who need jobs and wages driving the cargo.

NATO does not loose single cent when any oil tanker destined for it gets destroyed ..it is the Pakistani contractors who loose money, property(oil and trucks) and lives..because as opposed the popular belief ..NATO does not pay for these goods ..until they are delivered

You and the fellow above you are wrong. They're comprehensively insured, if the vehicle is burned/destroyed NATO pays for it, if the oil is stolen/burned NATO pays for it. The jobs/wages is a separate thing which can also be dealt with by diverting to routine Afghan trade - so the drivers do get an earning one way or the other.

Insurance money is paid by insurance companies not NATO.
