MIRAMSHAH, Oct 10: The Taliban on Sunday claimed responsibility for the latest attack on a Nato supply convoy and vowed they would continue until US drone strikes were stopped.

“We accept responsibility for the attacks on the Nato supply trucks and tankers in Sibi district on Saturday,” Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesman Azam Tariq said.

“We will continue the attacks on Nato trucks and tankers until the drone strikes are stopped,” he said in a telephone call from an undisclosed location.

Gunmen on Saturday torched at least 29 oil tankers in Balochistan, the sixth attack in just over a week on vehicles carrying supplies for the 152,000-strong foreign forces fighting the Taliban-led militancy. Previous attacks have also been claimed by Taliban.—AFP
