A fresh new week begins on Monday morning and right out of the gates a suicide bomber attacks a site in Battagram where a political leader was set to address the people. Six people are confirmed dead with 10 wounded...I'm guessing those totals will increase due to the early reporting on this one.
As I have followed Pakistan for a number of years, it never ceases to amaze me just how widespread the attacks are in the country - you simply cannot escape the threat of islamic terror anywhere in Pakistan.
The story is from DAWN.
