Islamabad, September 27: Two suicide car bombs killed 16 people and wounded about 150 others in separate attacks in north-western Pakistan yesterday, just days after the Taliban warned suicide strikes were coming if the military pressed forward with an offensive. A third bomb injured four in the restive region.
Pakistan’s mountainous, lawless north-west region along the Afghan border – where the government holds little control – is a favoured area for insurgents to plan attacks on US and Nato troops in Afghanistan, as well as on Pakistani security forces and government workers.
