Re: At lesst 23 killed in militant raid and suicide attack
This animal first attracted a crowd of on-lookers by first crashing into a parked vehicle and when people gathered to look, blew his car up for maximum fatalities. He killed Pathans of the agency including girls and children. Makes me wonder if these people have any sympathy with the local civilians.
