What a mess , suicide bombers are the choice of the Taliban , While we prefer to take the Taliban out with Hellfire missiles ! 
Dead Taliban = Good Taliban .
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - A suicide bomber killed up to 10 people in Pakistan Friday, while a suspected U.S. drone killed six militants, as rising political tension threatened to distract the government from its war against the Taliban .
Opposition politicians have called for President Asif Ali Zardari to step down since the Supreme Court Wednesday threw out an amnesty that protected him, several government ministers and thousands of others from corruption charges.
The prospect of political turmoil would dismay the United States which has stepped up pressure on its nuclear-armed ally to tackle Afghan Taliban fighters in lawless border enclaves.
Pakistan has been battling homegrown Taliban who have responded with bomb attacks, but it is seen as reluctant to antagonize the Afghan militants who provide it with leverage against old rival India's growing influence in Afghanistan.
A suicide bomber struck near a mosque by a police compound in the district of Lower Dir.
"We have 8 to 10 people killed. We have dead bodies as well as body parts and there are 28 wounded," said Jamal Hayat, a doctor at the region's main hospital.
At about the same time, a U.S. drone aircraft fired four missiles in the North Waziristan region, killing six militants, Pakistani security officials said.
Thursday, drones launched their heaviest ever strike in Pakistan, firing seven missiles at a militant cave complex, compound and vehicle, killing 12 fighters, officials said.
