Over a hundred injured in suspected Taliban offensive on Afghan border
Suicide bomb blasts tore through a busy market in a volatile tribal region along the Afghan border yesterday, killing more than 65 people in an attack that illustrated the Taliban insurgency's potency despite several recent offensives carried out by Pakistani troops against militants in the country's tribal belt.
The explosions took place in the village of Yaka Ghund in the Mohmand tribal region, outside the offices of a senior Mohmand administrator, the police said. At least 112 people were injured.
