[^_^ 5,021]

PESHAWAR: Suicide bombers attacked a military checkpost in Pakistan’s troubled northwest on Saturday, killing 13 soldiers and 11 civilians, officials said, in an assault claimed by the Taliban.

...

The attack was on a joint checkpost of the Pakistan army and a paramilitary force in the Serai Naurang area of Lakki Marwat district.

Another security official in Peshawar said security forces killed 12 militants.

The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed the attack but disputed 12 militants were killed, saying they had sent only four suicide bombers.

“We sent only four suicide bombers to attack this checkpost. We attacked it to avenge the killing of two of our friends in a recent drone strike,” said Ehsanullah Ehsan, a spokesman for the TTP.

Ehsan added that the attack was in revenge of Pakistan’s “assistance to the US for drone strikes.”

Sorry---- TTP leaders also hope to impose a strict interpretation of Qur‘anic instruction throughout Pakistan and to expel Coalition troops from Afghanistan. TTP maintains close ties to senior al-Qa‘ida leaders, including al-Qa‘ida’s former head of operations in Pakistan.---

Any religion followed to the letter would result in such action. If the bible was interpreted to like that, we would still have slavery, gays wouldn't be allowed to marry, and cheating was punished by death. The only difference is we are more laxed here than over there. Blame the people, not the religion, because there are more peace loving muslims than not. But here we have great atrocities but religion is left out of it. You never know why these folks do what they do.
