Over 32 killed including many police

More than 30 people have been killed and about 150 others wounded in an explosion targeting police at a mosque in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar, according to officials.

Muhammed Asim, Lady Reading Hospital spokesperson in Peshawar, told Al Jazeera at least 32 people were killed and more than 70 injured people were brought in for treatment. A Peshawar police official told Al Jazeera about 150 people were wounded in total.

The mosque is inside a highly fortified compound that includes the headquarters of the provincial police force and a counterterrorism department.

If this place was as fortified as they claim, then clearly this was an inside job.
Don't know how you solve that.

There is no way one can stop people from blowing themselves up if that's part of their worldview.

One has to allow it to evolve until some degree of enlightenment.

This kinda pointless irrational violence can only be likened to the repeated mass shootings in the misfits' bess in the wurll country.

the only thing they have in common is violence so i guess that it doesnt matter but their character and nature and antecedents are way way different

The Taliban from Emir’s utopia are expressing their displeasure with a former ally. Religious alliances are so fickle.

well they are both motivated by extremist ideologies and political affiliations, perceived injustices, and radicalization of some sort.

Lots in common

Amazing how quickly we rush to ‘they’
‘They’ are, ‘they’ think, ‘they’ know

But will fight tooth and nail if that was done to us

I am not blaming this on anyone but the perpetrators. However, to what extent has Bush’s foray into Iraq radicalized The Islamic World?
Al Quaida for instance is everywhere. Arabian Peninsula, The Sohail, The Horn of Africa, The Philippines

Death toll from blast in Pakistan mosque rises to at least 100 as country faces ‘national security crisis’

This looks like infighting. The supporters of the cricketer vs the entrenched boys who want to keep India as their number 1 enemy at all economic cost.

I saw a Pakistan thread
While the Emirs are large and in charge, Modi’s country of birth will never be a part of the solution.
