The
Associated Press has an
article in
Time about another internecine battle in Pakistan:
A Pakistani official says that the death toll in a militant attack on a Shi'ite mosque in the northwestern city of Peshawar has risen to nineteen.
Provincial Information Minister Mushtaq Ghani says the attack also wounded more than forty people. There was much shooting in the immediate aftermath of the explosion, but he says the violence is now over.
A senior police officer, Mian Mohammad Saeed, said three or four attackers entered the mosque, and that one suicide bomber blew himself up (photo).
The Pakistani Taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Rico says it's the old (okay, bad and heartless) joke: nineteen dead
Taliban? A good start...
