ISAF supply container torched near Quetta

ISLAMABAD (PAN): An International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) supply container was attacked near Quetta, the capital of Pakistan’s southwestern Balochistan province, on Friday.

The vehicle’s driver and cleaner were wounded during the shooting in the Dasht area of Mastung district, a private TV channel reported.

“Unknown armed men riding a motorbike opened fire at a NATO container on the national highway,” DawnNews quoted a Levies official as saying.

The assailants set the container on fire before fleeing the scene. The injured driver and his assistant were evacuated to hospital.

A day earlier, security forces recovered 12,000 kilograms of explosives, 20 rockets, seven RPGs, six cylinders, two hand grenades, 10 controlled detonator systems, two gunpowder-mixing machines, three cylinders filled with bearings, 15 suicide vests in Quetta.
