Tankers carrying supplies for Nato troops in Afghanistan have been set on fire by unidentified assailants in the Pakistani town of Shikarpur in Sindh province, officials say.
The incident on Friday came a day after Pakistani authorities blocked a supply route for Nato troops, angered by the killing of three Pakistani soldiers in airstrikes by Nato helicopters.
"The attackers fired with small arms on tankers and fled away. No one was hurt," an official of the paramilitary Rangers force told the Reuters news agency.
The official, who declined to be named, said about 10 assailants attacked up to 25 to 30 tankers early in the morning. Efforts were underway to put out the fire, a police official, Mir Hazar Chandio, said.The supply route remained blocked on Friday and lorry was allowed to enter Afghanistan for the second consecutive day, an administrative official said.
"Trucks carrying fuel and other goods for NATO are still not allowed to enter Afghanistan," the official, speaking from Torkham, the main crossing border between Pakistan and Afghanistan, told the AFP news agency by telephone.Aviation fuel The three Pakistani soldiers were killed on Thursday in two cross-border strikes as Nato troops were chasing anti-government fighters in Pakistan's northwestern Kurram region. Hours later, Pakistani authorities halted tankers carrying supplies for the Nato forces passing through the Khyber tribal region on the Afghan border.Al Jazeera's Kamal Hyder, reporting from the the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, said the blocked route is a "very crucial part of the supply chain because most of the aviation fuel [for Nato aircraft] goes through Pakistan"."It's that aviation fuel that's used in combat missions inside Afghanistan," he said. Our correspondent said previous attacks on Nato convoys have taken place in Balochestan or the province of the North-West Frontier and that Friday's attack in the southern province of Sindh was a rare occurence. Pakistan is a key ally for the United States in its efforts to stabilise Afghanistan, but analysts say border incursions and disruptions in Nato supplies underline growing tensions in the relationship. The bulk of supplies for the troops in Afghanistan goes through Pakistan.

Sri Lanka's ex-army chief begins jail sentence
by Amal Jayasinghe Amal Jayasinghe
Thu Sep 30, 1:37 pm ET COLOMBO (AFP) –
Sri Lanka's ex-army chief Sarath Fonseka, who led troops to victory over Tamil rebels to end a decades-long civil war, on Thursday began 30 months in jail after the president
confirmed the sentence.
Troops escorted the former four-star general to the island's main Welikada prison, hours after the government announced that President Mahinda Rajapakse had approved Fonseka's conviction by a military court.
"He was taken from military custody and handed over to prison authorities to start his sentence," an army officer said.
Fonseka fell out with Rajapakse over who should take credit for defeating the Tamil Tigers in May last year and unsuccessfully tried to unseat him in a January election.
Fonseka was found guilty at a court martial on four counts of making irregular purchases for the military when he was its commander at the height of fighting in the island's northeast.
Rajapakse approved the sentence of two-and-a-half years "rigorous imprisonment" on Wednesday after returning from addressing the United Nations in New York, Media Minister Keheliya Rambukwella said.
"The president, as commander-in-chief, has confirmed the court martial decision," Rambukwella told reporters. "The sentence begins from today."
A senior official who declined to be named said Fonseka could appeal to a civilian court and could also seek bail pending a hearing.
"The court martial recommended up to three years in jail, but the president has decided he will be in prison for 30 months," the official said.
Fonseka's Democratic National Alliance (DNA) party said they would appeal the sentence and accused Rajapakse of leading a political vendetta.
"It is not the court martial which is responsible for jailing General Fonseka," DNA lawmaker Tiran Alles told AFP. "It is the president who today jailed his main political opponent."
Alles said Rajapakse had ordered the imprisonment of Fonseka despite requests from the island's influential Buddhist clergy as well as other religious leaders.
Fonseka was hailed as a hero after soldiers under his command crushed the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) last year. Tamil separatist leaders were killed while pinned down on the coast after a massive military offensive.
The Tigers' defeat ended nearly 40 years of separatist conflict in Sri Lanka, but rights groups say thousands of civilians were also killed in the final onslaught and that Tamils remain badly discriminated against.
The conviction of Fonseka on September 17 came after he was stripped of his rank and pension following another court martial that found him guilty last month of dabbling in politics while in uniform.
Fonseka was arrested two weeks after his defeat in the elections and has remained in military custody since. However, he won a seat in parliamentary elections in April, allowing him to attend the legislature.
The ex-army chief has said the government is seeking revenge for his decision to stand against the president and wants to keep him from speaking in parliament, which is controlled by Rajapakse loyalists.
"The court martial was just a puppet show with the government holding the strings," his wife Anoma told reporters in Colombo Thursday. "We knew that he will be jailed so this announcement from the government today does not come as a surprise to us."
Fonseka also faces civilian charges of employing army deserters and revealing state secrets -- offences that carry a 20-year jail term.
He has angered the government by publicly declaring that he was ready to go before any international tribunal to answer charges of alleged war crimes while crushing the Tamil Tigers.
The United Nations estimates that at least 7,000 ethnic Tamil civilians were killed in the final months of fighting between government troops and the Tamil Tigers, but Colombo has said no civilians were killed and refused to allow any independent probe.

Former SLA commander Fonseka in Welikada Prison
[TamilNet, Friday, 01 October 2010, 09:03 GMT]
Sarath Fonseka, former Commander of the Sri Lanka Army, was transferred to Welikada Prison
Thursday around 10:30 p.m to serve his 30 months’ rigorous imprisonment following the ratification of the recommendation of the Second Court Martial. Sri Lanka President’s ratification endorsed that Fonseka should serve thirty months in prison and not 36 months as recommended by the Second Court Martial for violating tender procedures in purchasing arms to the Sri Lanka Army.
Fonseka is being held separately in the prison and not with other prisoners, prison sources said.
Fonseka was brought to Welikada prison from the Navy Headquarters where he was kept in detention since February 8.
The transfer took place after photographers and television video crews ended a 12-hour watch outside the prison complex located adjoining the Baseline road, Borella expecting Fonseka’s arrival.
However, the media personnel left the place following heavy rainfall.
