Pakistan

Another suicide bomber strikes in Dera Ismail Khan. Three Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) members are the prime suspects in the Peshawar suicide bombing. Pakistani police claim “foreign involvement” is behind the attacks in Peshawar and Islamabad. Maulana Inayatur Rehman is said to have told followers to conduct suicide missions after the Bajaur airstrike in 2006. “Militants” launched an attack on a Levies outpost in Salarzai, Bajaur.
