ISLAMABAD, Oct 4 (Reuters) - Suspected militants in Pakistan on Monday attacked fuel tankers in Islamabad transporting fuel to coalition troops in Afghanistan, police said, a move likely to delay the reopening of a supply route through Pakistan.

"Gunmen opened fire and then set on fire tankers parked on the roadside. It's a big fire. We're trying to control it," a senior police officer, Omar Hayat, told Reuters. (Reporting by Kamran Haider; Editing by Michael Georgy)
