Suicide Explosion in Hassankhel (Laki Marwat)

Read somewhere that the bombing is the work of the Haqqani network. Does somebody here have an input on that?

The taliban are terrorists. "TERROR" is a combat multiplier in an information war waged by insurgents today for the minds of your populace. Not only do they wish to promote their ideals, they wish to display the government's ineptness to secure their daily lives.

At night, they post letters warning those who speak out or simply kidnap and later kill to best advantage. This discourages community leaders and key officials while leaving security forces held hostage by their own laws of due process from attacking these enemies.

The taliban kill nearly double the civilians in Afghanistan. Much of these killings are targeted specifically for civilians just as they are in Pakistan. The taliban also routinely have used afghan civilians as human shields when faced with their own destruction-often against all wishes of those caught in the middle.

Does that appear familiar? There is a war fought on both sides of the Durand line by forces of the taliban against the civilian peoples of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Until the Pakistani people understand that these men are one and the same, this war shall continue by virtue of the sanctuary provided by Pakistanis to these killers.

You have elevated the status of men such as Haqqani, Hekmatyar, and Omar by your fawning upon them. Your tribals have noticed and emulate these brutal slave-masters.

These men are not heros for attempting to do to Afghanistan that which you reject being done to Pakistan. Quit supporting the afghan irhabists and make them the pariahs they deserve to be and your own insurgency will wither and die.

So too, btw, Afghanistan's. With that will come the stability that all seek.

As of now, you are reaping that which you've sown.

Thanks.

I remember during Afghan Russian war same type of suicidel bombers were target general public in different cities .

Death toll from suicide attack against volleyball match rises to 105

At least 105 people were killed when a suicide bomber attacked a volleyball tournament in a town in north-western Pakistan yesterday, police said as it updated earlier figures which had put the death toll at 88 with more than 100 injured.
The blast was so powerful that it demolished a building near the volleyball court. Police is still searching for more dead and wounded under the rubbles.

The suicide bomber detonated a vehicle as fans gathered to watch two teams face off in the town of Shah Hasan Khan, not far from the Taliban stronghold of South Waziristan.

According to police, the town was targeted because its residents have been supporting the Pakistani government’s efforts to suppress Taliban militants.

For several months, Pakistan's military has been battling the Taliban who use certain regions of the country as safe havens for their fight in Afghanistan and where they enforce Sharia.

In 2009, the Taliban have been responsible for several attacks that killed thousands of civilians.

^^^^^^^

It proves if proofs were needed the patriotism, determination and resilience of these hardy tribals as even after such an atrocity, there was no backlash from the locals, a fact which is proving even more troublesome to the culprits.
