| 2011-05-15 |
[Al Jazeera] At least six people have been killed and 10 others maimed after a bomb planted in a bus went kaboom!in a northeastern Pak town. The blast took place near the garrison town of Kharian, about 130km southeast of Islamabad, the capital. "At least six people were killed in the blast," Afzal Bhatti, a senior police official, said. Bhatti said that those maimed had been moved to nearby hospitals. Taliban fighters have threatened deadly attacks against Pakistain and the US in Dire Revenge™ for the May 2 killing of the late Osama bin Laden ... he's rotten though not quite forgotten... , the al-Qaeda leader, by US commandos in the northern city of Abbottabad. On Friday, twin kabooms targeting a paramilitary training centre in northwest Pakistain killed scores of people, mostly paramilitary personnel, and maimed more than 100 others, police and local officials said. A police official said Friday's attack in Charsadda district appeared to be the work of two jacket wallahs, though there was a possibility of the second bomb being planted. The Pak Taliban has grabbed credit for that attack, terming it the "first Dire Revenge™" for the killing of bin Laden. No one has so far grabbed credit for Saturday's bombing. |
