Pakistan, suicide bomber at a funeral, 37 people died in Peshawar

Per la seconda volta in due giorni i talebani sono di nuovo entrati in azione oggi in
Pakistan con un attentato suicida contro una milizia pro governativa durante un corteo funebre nei pressi di Peshawar, il capoluogo della provincia nord occidentale di Khyber-Pakhtunkwa.

Gravissimo il bilancio della strage che secondo gli ultimi aggiornamenti è di 37 morti e una cinquantina di feriti. A questo tragico conteggio vanno aggiunte oggi le cinque vittime di una mina esplosa al passaggio di un pulmino carico di passeggeri su una strada a Dera Bugti, il distretto del Baluchistan e roccaforte dei gruppi separatisti attivi nella provincia ricca di risorse minerarie.

L'attentato suicida di oggi è avvenuto a 24 ore di distanza dall'esplosione a car bomb explosion in a gas filling station in Faisalabad, the third largest city in Pakistan, where 32 people were killed and injured over a hundred.

Both actions were claimed by the main Taliban movement Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), active in the border areas of Afghanistan and held responsible for more killings and assassinations of political figures made
in recent years in the country.

Today's attack was carried out by a suicide bomber mingled among the participants of a funeral in the village of Adezai, some twenty miles south of Peshawar. The funerals were those of the wife of a local commander of a
of "peace committees", the tribal militias fighting alongside the Taliban army in Islamabad. A survivor, Eman Mohammad, told the TV GeoNews that "the ritual prayers had just started when a boy became
off between the present and then blew himself up in front of the imam." The explosion was powerful and torn bodies of the victims, many of which were no more recognizable.

In a telephone call to reporters, a spokesman for the Taliban has taken over the authorship of the massacre and announced new revenge against the "Lashkar" (tribal militia) who "dare to attack us."

In a statement, President Asif Ali Zardari spoke of a "cowardly terrorist attack" ensuring it will not brake "the will of the nation to defeat terrorism." Even Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani has expressed the government's determination that "you do not leave demoralized by these attacks," to "eradicate terrorism from all over the country."

Meanwhile, as part of investigations into the massacre yesterday in Faisalabad, the police arrested three suspects and stated that the objective dell'autobomba was a secret service office located next to the gas station, but that ' high level of security has prevented the action. Today, in the center near Lahore, which is characterized by a strong presence of the Christian minority, the shops have declared a fierce general mourning.
