#2 officials asked Afghan truck drivers carrying fruits to unload their goods for search. The drivers refused to

Spoilage was not likely the reason for the refusal. More likely weapons or drugs were hidden in the load. Drivers were probably prepared to pay the standard bribe to pass but the officials demanded more.

All those westbound trucks full of fuel and supplies gathered together, not moving, just begging to be a Tali-target. Perhaps the stoppage had nothing to do with the eastbound traffic at all - that may have just been an excuse to set us up for a bombing. Hope not, but ....
