ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Nov 24 (AP)- Suicide bombers hit a bus carrying intelligence agency (ISI) employees and a checkpoint near the headquarters of the Pakistan army in Rawalpindi on Saturday, killing at least 35 people, an official said. In the first attack, an explosive laden car rammed a bus carrying employees from the Inter-Services Intelligence agency, while the other bomber hit the checkpoint, said Mohammed Afzal, a local police official. An official at the scene said the destroyed bus was a 72-seater, but that more people were on board. The casualty figure might therefore go further up, he feared. After the blast, troops and police quickly blocked off the area of the blast. They pushed back bystanders and snatched cameras and mobile phones from journalists and bystanders. Agents fanned out across the area, picking up metal bits of what appeared to be the suicide bomber's car. It was the second major attack against the ISI in recent months. On Sept. 4, a suicide attacker blew himself up after boarding a bus carrying ISI employees, while a roadside bomb went off near a commercial area in Rawalpindi minutes apart, killing at least 25 people. Tension between militant groups and the military are at a high because of an ongoing military operation in northern Swat valley. (First Posted @ 09:25 PST, Updated @ 10:05 PST)

militancy and extremism has no political front. Its few dead men walking, just to kill the life.
All our national heros those who fall in the line of duty.
