Pakistan Taliban Unleashes Wave of Suicide Attacks
--------------------------------------------------



In Pakistan, a senior commander of the Pakistani Taliban is threatening
to launch two suicide attacks per week if the Obama administration does
not stop missile strikes on Pakistani territory. Over the weekend, at
least thirty-eight people died in three suicide attacks. In the
deadliest bombing, twenty-two people died in a blast at a Shiite mosque
in the capital of Islamabad.
