36 killed in northwest Pakistan suicide bomb attack

The Taliban has been relentless with their suicide attacks in the past few weeks.
Still reeling from Osamas demise, they are splodin everybody up.
If Pakistan would have just put some effort into helping with the demise of the Taliban things could have been different for them.

Hey Pakistan, ENJOY.

ISLAMABAD: The death toll in a devastating suicide car bomb attack in northwest Pakistan on Friday rose to 36 as more bodies were pulled out of the rubble of buildings that collapsed when the attacker detonated his explosives-laden vehicle in a congested area of Hangu city.

Two more bodies were retrieved from the debris today, officials in Hangu said. At least 10 policemen were among the dead.

Over 50 people were injured in the deadly attack carried out by the Pakistani Taliban to avenge the killing of Osama bin Laden in a US raid on May 2.

The bomber detonated his explosives near several government offices and a court complex in the heart of Hangu city of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.

Deputy Inspector General of Police Masood Afridi said an estimated 450 kg of explosives was used in the attack.
