49 Killed in Pakistan Bombing

Pakistani army prepares to fight in South Waziristan.

Sad news out of Pakistan Friday: At least 49 people have been killed, and more than 100 injured in a suspected suicide bombing in a crowded bazaar in Peshawar. A suicide bomber reportedly detonated himself when his car was next to a passenger bus in the market, thought to be carrying a number of children. The bombing is the latest in a series of blasts that have rocked north-west Pakistan, and is the deadliest attack in Pakistan since a March suicide bombing killed at least 50 in a crowded mosque in Jamrud. The attack comes as the Pakistani army prepares to storm the tribal region of South Waziristan to shut down militants in the area.
