Police sources said that the vehicle of Peshtakhara Police Station was on routine patrolling when a remote-controlled device planted by unknown persons hit it. The blast judged the vehicle badly. The injured were shifted to Hayatabad Medical Complex.Among them are eight civilians, including four school girls, and six policemen,” said Khalid Khan, an official at the city’s central police control room. “Thirty-four, including 20 policemen, are injured.”It was the third suicide attack in less than a week. More than 100 people died and over 400 injured in suicide bombings in eastern city of Lahore and south-western town of Quetta.

It is believed that there might be still some people under the rubble. When the bombing took place more than 40 policemen were inside the building,” Khan said.The bomber drove into the rear wall of the station, district police chief Gul Wali Khan said. Several nearby buildings were also damaged by the explosion, which left a large crater in the ground.

The Taliban took the responsibility for both bombings and threatened to carry out more. The bombings ended a brief lull after recent floods devastated large areas in Pakistan, killing 1,700 and affecting more than 17 million.The bombing, in Lucky Marwat district close to country’s militancy-plagued tribal region, demolished parts of the police station building and damaged a school van on the adjacent busy street.

The blast was reportedly caused by a suicide bomber who detonated his explosives as thousands of Shi’ite Muslims rallied to mark Quds Day, an international celebration held on the last Friday of Ramadan by some Muslims to show solidarity with the Palestinians and opposition to Israel’s control of Jerusalem.

DUSHANBE, Tajikistan
? A suicide car bomb blast on Friday tore through police offices in Tajikistan’s second-largest city, injuring 25 people, local officials said.

Tajikistan’s Deputy Interior Minister Sharif Nazarov told The Associated Press the car filled with explosives hit the offices of the police organized-crime division in Khujand at 8 a.m. Friday morning.

The suicide bomber drove his car into the office compound’s gates when another vehicle was leaving. No deaths have been reported so far apart from the bomber.

Tajikistan’s top investigators are to fly to Khujand to probe the attack.

Impoverished Tajikistan is plagued by crime. The country bordering northern Afghanistan is one of the main conduits for smuggling Afghan opium and heroin.

The assaults on the sprawling Forward Operating Base Salerno in Khost province
and nearby Camp Chapman, took place at 3am local time.

Camp Chapman was the scene of a major attack in December, when a suicide
bomber entered the base and killed seven CIA employees.

Major Wazir Pacha of the provincial police headquarters said insurgents used
rifles, heavy machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades, and other heavy
weapons, but had been repelled.

“The area is under control, but we still need to find those hiding,” he said.

Small arms fire could still be heard in the area mid-morning, witnesses said,
while Nato helicopters patrolled overhead.

Police discovered a vehicle laden with ammunition and another packed with
explosives that had become stuck in deep mud. Major Pacha said the second
vehicle was probably intended to be used as a suicide truck bomb.

On Friday, homemade bombs killed three US soldiers in southern and eastern
Afghanistan, bringing the total number of foreign troops killed in
Afghanistan this month to 55.
