Suicide Bombing in Pakistan Kills 11

44 minutes ago

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — A suicide bomber set off a blast that killed at least 11 people Monday in northwestern Pakistan, police said.

The bomb apparently was in a rickshaw that was being examined at a police checkpoint around 8:25 a.m. local time in the town of Bannu, said police officer Habib Khan. He said it was unclear if the driver or a passenger wearing a burqa detonated it.

The blast killed four police officers and seven other people, including the bomber. Several other people were injured and taken to hospitals.

Bannu is in the North Waziristan tribal region, about 110 miles south of Peshawar.

Fighting between Islamic militants and security forces has been raging across northwest Pakistan in recent months. Most of the combat has taken place in the rugged mountains along the Afghan border where the U.S. fears al-Qaida is regrouping and that Osama bin Laden is hiding.

Pakistan is a key ally of the U.S. in its war on terror and says it has about 90,000 troops in the northwest tribal areas to combat militancy and prevent infiltration into neighboring Afghanistan.

You would think the MMA aholes would make it a point to do something about such things, considering its their province and they are a religous party...
