| Bomber's head identified: Sherpao |
| 2007-05-02 |
| Interior Minister Aftab Sherpao said on Tuesday that investigators had identified which of the two heads recovered at the scene of SaturdayÂ’s suicide attack at Charsadda belonged to the bomber. He told reporters that the inquiry revealed that there had been only one suicide bomber, aged 16 to 17 years, who had blown himself up and killed 29 people. The minister said the government would continue its fight against terrorism and extremism. The federal government says security was the responsibility of the NWFP government but Chief Minister Akram Khan Durrani says his government was not informed about the public meeting. The federal and NWFP governments are jointly investigating the terrorist attack. |

| #3 FWIW, in a suicide bombing, the head is usualy blasted clear intact. Back in 2005 after a string of SVBIED attacks, we recovered 7 (mostly) intact heads. I suggested to the regimental SGM and XO that we put the heads up on pikes in front of the FOB main gate where the local Hajjis would enter for work. I got into a lot of trouble for my idea... |

| #2 Dang. I keep thinking of that KFC commercial of the 90s that talked about "pieces and parts" of chickens. Sounds like the bomber got ahead of himself. |

| #1 The minister said the government would continue its fight against terrorism and extremism. So, are you going to shut down the madrassahs and hang the imams preaching extremism and terrorism? Didn't think so... |
