Gunmen have torched 29 NATO fuel tankers in southwest Pakistan, the latest in a string of attacks targeting a key supply route into Afghanistan.
Officials say more than 20 gunmen launched the attack early Saturday, while the tankers were parked outside a roadside hotel in Baluchistan province.
Militants have attacked NATO supply trucks nearly every day since Pakistan closed a major border crossing last week. The Taliban claimed responsibility for some of the destruction.
Pakistan shut the Torkhum border crossing, in the Khyber tribal region, after NATO helicopters fired missiles at a Pakistani military post, killing two soldiers. A joint NATO-Pakistani investigation determined the U.S. pilots mistook the soldiers for militants.

How many fuel trucks do (did) we have over there? Maybe we can carry buckets on camel back?
When will our government wise up and realize that Pakistan is complicit in these attacks? They claimed they were keeping the vehicles safe..........
the pakis are our friebds, the pakis are our friends, the pakis are our friends— mantra for obamination
I’m convinced that Pakistan was never fully onboard from the start...Sure, they love our weapon systems F-16’s and the like...
They are now a nuke capable nation, dispite the non—proliferation treaty...They just had to butt heads with their arch rivals next door, just for spite...
Bin Laden was probably hiding there all this time unless he has been buried under tons of rock...I doubt it...
Turn off the funding and they’ll either get their act together, or it will confirm who’s side they are on...
Either way, it’ll make what we have to do next an easier decision, but it won’t be made by this administration...
Nuke the mf’ers... if obama does not have the balls to do it... let India do it!
LLS
Let's continue to use our trucks full of valuable fuel on dangerous supply routes.
And hey!
Let's park them all in one area, kinda' bunched together.
THAT should fool 'em, eh?
Yes. Their trucks are set ablaze and no pakis are injured during their defense of the convoys.
Once they quit blowing up their own equipment, they’ll be unable to fuel their own vehicles.
No trucks, no jobs, no gas & no brains.
Insahllah is fun!
I don’t care if they get swallowed up in a earthquake, flood, fires, etc. Not one more American dime should ever be sent there again. People must wake up to this enemy of ours and stop sending them money when they have a disaster. They jump for joy when thousands of their people die. They know the money is coming in! So truely sad.
