Three killed in Pakistan

Three people have been killed in Pakistan after militants in Pakistan have destroyed 27 tankers which were carrying fuel for Nato troops in Afghanistan.



The Taliban in Pakistan says it’s behind the assault on a depot near Islamabad.



Pakistan has stopped Nato convoys crossing the Khyber Pass in response to a Nato air strike last week in which three Pakistani soldiers were killed.



The closure has left lorries and tankers open to attack at various points along the supply route from the port city of Karachi.



Meanwhile, while expressing regret for the deaths today Nato has called for the crossing to be reopened.
