A suicide bomber has attacked the office of a radical Islamic group in northwest Pakistan, wounding at least 15 people and killing an as yet unknown number.
The bomber targeted the office of the Organisation for the Promotion of Virtue and Suppression of Vice in the tribal Khyber district, near the provincial capital Peshawar. Local officials said the attack, the first on a pro-Taliban group, was linked to a rivalry between rebel groups. It was the second attack in less than a week after Taliban rebels killed four people in a car bombing in the northwestern city of Mardan. The Mardan attack broke an almost six-week lull in militant attacks in Pakistan. A wave of Czech Greens head calls on his deputy to run in elections ...
