Blast on Pakistan supply line to US troops kills 1
Source: Associated Press

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — An official says a roadside bomb apparently targeting an oil tanker exploded along a Pakistani supply line used by U.S.-led troops in Afghanistan.

Local government official Ameer Zada Khan says one person died and two people were wounded in the Saturday blast. Khan said the tanker was intended for use by NATO forces in Afghanistan.

The bomb was remote-controlled and exploded near Landi Kotal in the Khyber tribal region. Western forces in Afghanistan rely heavily on the Khyber Pass route that runs through the area, and militants have increasingly attacked it.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information.
