May those lost their lives rest in peace, and may injured heal. May the terrorists scums go to hell.

At least 10 people have been killed and scores wounded in a bomb blast that took place in a weekly Friday market in Pakistan’s tribal region of Khyber.
The blast occurred in Meharban Kaley, a village some 70 km (40 miles) southwest of region’s main town of Landikotal. The area is under the influence of banned Lashkar-e-Islam led by Mangal Bagh Afridi.
According to the media reports the blast took place at about 11:00 a.m. in the Tirah valley of Khyber Agency. Rescue activities were started immediately and the injured were taken to the nearby hospital by the local residents.
Analysts believe that the attack may be a retaliation of the Army’s efforts to evacuate the area from the Pakistani Taliban who want to impose a harsh version of Islamic Shariah. Khyber is also a major route for the supplies to NATO troops in Afghanistan. So far no one has accepted the responsibility of the attack. Prime Minister Yousaf Reza Gillani has condemned the attack and demanded an immediate probe of it.
