I wouldn't be surprised to find out if a lot of the terrorists that ran out of Iraq in the past year ended up in northwestern Pakistan. Reuters

MINGORA, Pakistan (Reuters) - Two police officers were killed and three wounded in a suicide bombing in a police training centre in Pakistan's northwest on Monday, the latest in a spate of violence blamed on Islamist militants.
The attack in the district of Swat came a day after at least nine militants were killed by missiles fired by a U.S. aircraft in the South Waziristan tribal region, a haven for al Qaeda and Taliban fighters on the Afghan border.In Swat, the lone attacker, posing as a police cadet, managed to get into the centre and blew himself up amongst a group of recruits.
I think they mean to say "a terrorist resort" instead of "tourist resort"
"The attacker dodged the guards by showing them the uniform of the cadets and exploded himself among the young cadets," Waqif Khan, a senior government official in Swat told Reuters. "The attacker and two policemen were killed," he added.
Swat, a tourist resort in the North West Frontier Province bordering Afghanistan, has seen a surge in violence since a radical cleric launched a violent campaign to enforce a Taliban-style Islamic code in the conservative region.
