Two boys stand beside fuel trucks which were set ablaze in the Bolan district of Pakistan's Balochistan province. Police and witnesses said gunmen on motorcycles opened fire on nine fuel trucks, setting them on fire and killing one driver. Hundreds of loaded trucks have been stranded in Pakistan after the government blocked Nato supply routes to Afghanistan.
