Twin blasts ‘kill 15’ in Pakistan

Two suspected suicide blasts have killed at least 15 people and injured others in the Pakistani garrison city of Rawalpindi, officials say.

One explosion took place on a bus and the other at an army checkpoint, according to media reports.

Witnesses saw ambulances rushing towards the scene of the explosions.

There have been a number of suicide bombings in Pakistan in recent months, including an attack that left at least 135 people dead in Karachi last month.

This is the third recent strike on Rawalpindi.

In the first incident on Saturday, a bomber in a car detonated explosives at an army checkpoint outside the Pakistani army’s general headquarters in Rawalpindi, killing one of the guards stationed there, a military spokesman said.

In the second attack, a car carrying explosives reportedly rammed a Pakistani defence ministry bus heading to a building belonging to the country’s security services.

“Both were suicide attacks,” Army spokesman Major-General Waheed Arshad told local reporters.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the bombings, but the BBC’s Barbara Plett in Islamabad says they are often suspected to have been carried out by pro-Taleban militants in revenge for military operations in the tribal areas near the Afghan border and in North-West Frontier Province.

Sucks... Pakistanis have to deal with the spectre of an autocratic dictator on the one hand, and the evil of the monster terrorists on the other...

But come what may, we will have to continue to kill these terrorist ba$tards like the rats the are...

FIA is saying that of the 35 suicide bombings that happened this year, atleast in 10 of them the striker sleeve used was built in** ONE factory of a neighbouring country. **

Now Guess which country is that???

Ameen.

If only our ruler dedicates himself to get rid of this menace, instead of spending all his energies on keeping his kursi. But than Kursi is his number one priority, Pakistan jaye bhaar mein.

aameen.

Re: Twin blasts 'kill 15' in Pakistan

Let me understand what you said. You want Musharraf to get rid of this menace and also leave the Kursi. If he has no Kursi, what kind of authority will he have, to go after this menace?

Re: Twin blasts 'kill 15' in Pakistan

The army is still there whether mush stays in power or not. The army and the next chief can continue this effort, only mush will disappear from the scene.

Re: Twin blasts 'kill 15' in Pakistan

I see like him you are also more concerned with Mush's kursi than the country.
