Two oil tankers carrying fuel to Nato forces in Afghanistan were destroyed in a bomb blast on GT road in Peshawar.

Suspected militants blew up two parked trucks that were loaded with supply for Nato forces in Afghanistan. No casualties were reported.

The incident occurred a day after the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government barred 45 Nato tankers from entering the province after receiving intelligence reports claiming the containers were under threat of a militant attack.
