Surprised no one mentioned this. A gun and suicide attack, very similar to the lahore attack. Culprits are pretty obvious once again.
And shariah demanded by such demented people is being agreed upon by the state. If only nawaz sugar mill sharif devoted as much anger on this issue as he did on his laaaaang maaaarch / dharna.

**
Bilour survives attempt on life**
- Five killed as two suicide bombers’ bid to target senior NWFP minister fails
By Akhtar Amin
PESHAWAR: NWFP Senior Minister Bashir Ahmed Bilour survived an attempt on his life on Wednesday, but five other people including two women were killed when two attackers blew themselves up after firing at Bilour, police said.
Bilour, the Awami National Party (ANP) parliamentary leader in the NWFP Assembly, was travelling home after the inauguration ceremony of a road located in the Sarki Gate area of his constituency when the two attackers fired at his motorcade.
A passer by and a child were killed in the ensuing gunfight. The attackers fled and barged into a nearby house for shelter. They threw a grenade on women inside the house, killing two of them and a boy. The attackers then blew themselves up.
Bilour told reporters one of the attackers shouted ‘Allah-o-Akbar’ (God is great) as he fired at him. The minister said that the attacker tried to blow up his explosives-laden jacket near his car but it did not explode.
Bilour said the attempt to kill him was a conspiracy to destabilise the country.
Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Siffat Ghayyur said the men blew themselves up because the police had surrounded them.
The provincial minister had survived an attempt on his life in November 2008 when a suicide bomber targeted a sports complex in Peshawar where he was present. Three persons were killed and nine others injured in that attack.
