PostHeaderIcon Another deadly bomb blast in Peshawar kills about 100





As Sec. of State Hillary Clinton visited Pakistan, a car bomb blew in the city of Peshawar killing almost 100 people and wounding about 200 innocent victims in a busy market. Plumes of smoke, broken concrete. and scattered rubble were observed in the crime scene.

The car explosion was part of the step-up offensive by Taliban insurgents against Pakistani forces as the latter continued their attacks in South Waziristan, a border community near Afghanistan where Taliban fighters had taken foothold.

"I want you to know this fight is not Pakistan's alone," Clinton said. "These extremists are committed to destroying what is dear to us as much as they are committed to destroying that which is dear to you and to all people. So this is our struggle as well."--- AP/ Yahoo.news.com (10/28/09, Khan, R.)

In October, three bombs blasted as part of the deplorable attacks across the country claiming the lives of about 250 people. The focus of the attacks by Islamic militants had been the military forces charged with security and innocent civilians who had been caught negotiating their daily lives in public places of a chaotic country.
