Pakistan suicide bombers hit police station
Three suicide bombers–including one who was apparently a woman–detonated explosions that ripped through a police station in north-western Pakistan this morning, killing at least 11 people.
The attack, the latest in two weeks of audacious Taliban assaults on security forces, came as government warplanes pounded Taliban targets in the tribal belt, in anticipation of a military assault on their Waziristan stronghold.
The militants launched a two-pronged attack on a police interrogation centre, according to the Peshawar police chief, Liaqat Ali Khan. First a car packed with explosives rammed into a perimeter wall, partly destroying the police station and mosque next door.
