Forget it, Jake, it's Pakistan.
[Dawn] PESHAWAR: A boy was killed and six children were maimed in a toy bomb kaboom on the outskirts of the historic provincial capital here on Sunday.

Police said the incident took place in Spinawari area falling in the precincts of Pishtakhara cop shoppe, located on the road leading to Bara tehsil of Khyber agency.

A police official told Dawn the children were playing in a field when the kaboom took place at around 4pm.

#2  In merry olde Pakland, at Easter
They don't stick grenades up their keister.
The geese get out colors
And paint, then the mullahs
Lay Allah a hell of a feast, sir!
