| 2011-03-05 |
| [An Nahar] A kaboom on a mosque in Death Eater-infested northwest Pakistain killed at least nine people and maimed around 30 more as it destroyed Friday prayers, police and medics said. Hundreds of people were coming out of the mosque when the blast occurred, police said, adding that the bomb had been planted inside the building near the town of Nowshera. "We have received nine dead bodies and 28 injured, there is one child among the dead," Abdul Hameed Afridi, head of the main Lady Reading hospital in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar, the main city in the region, told Agence La Belle France Presse. Confirming the fatalities, senior police officer Mohammad Qureish Khan put the number of maimed at 33. "It was a planted bomb, we are investigating whether it was a remote control device," he said. "It was timed device, it went kaboom!in the mosque," senior minister Bashir Bilor told news hounds after visiting the site. The mosque is located in a shrine named after Mohammedan saint Akhund Panju Baba in Akbar Pura town on the outskirts of Nowshera. Several hundred people offer weekly congregation at the mosque, police said. The worshippers were coming out of the mosque after saying their Friday prayers when the bomb went kaboom!. The blast follows a suicide car booming on Thursday in a densely populated area of Hangu, which lies some 150 kilometers south of Peshawar and borders the troubled tribal belt along the Afghan border. Taliban and Al-Qaeda-linked cut-throats launch daily attacks across northwest Pakistain and the tribal belt that Washington has branded the most dangerous place on Earth. More than 4,000 people have died in suicide and kabooms across Pakistain since government forces launched an offensive against cut-throats in a mosque in Islamabad in 2007. The bombings have been blamed on terror networks linked to the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. |

| #1 Islam is so much a Religion of Peace that they kill even their own. In this individual case its ALL Moslems killing other Moslems. 33 Maimed? Yeah, that's what it says. Do you know any other modern Religion that does the same? And in Pakistan just last week they murdered a Christian( the ONLY one on the Cabinet level in the govt) for supporting anti-blasphemy free speech calling for MANDATORY death sentences. He advocated secular freedom of speech and tolerance of others and their dialogue. The MAJORITY of Pakistanis support DEATH for anyone who criticizes their beliefs. That means they wish the rest of the world was dead. Good luck with that, Abdrool. Imagine an entire Culture with the mind of Rageboy. And just about as good looking too.. |
