PESHAWAR, Pakistan — Suspected Taliban militants planted bombs in northwest Pakistan that destroyed two tankers supplying fuel to NATO troops in neighbouring Afghanistan, officials said Friday.

The incident took place in restive Khyber, one of seven semi-autonomous tribal regions in northwest Pakistan bordering Afghanistan.

"A convoy of seven tankers was on its way to Afghanistan when one of the tankers blew up and caught fire, killing a fruit vendor and burning at least 50 shops in a nearby market," local government official Rehan Gul Khattak said.

He said another tanker exploded near Landi Kotal, the main town in Khyber, after militants planted another bomb.
