Pakistan: Dozens Killed in Attacks on Political Party 
------------------------------------------------------


 
In Pakistan, at least 12 people were killed and scores more wounded
after a suicide blast near a vehicle carrying a candidate with the
Ulema-e-Islam political party. The attack comes a day after at least 25
people were killed in an explosion at a political rally in the Kurram
tribal area that targeted the same party. The Taliban claimed
reponsibility for that attack which was reportedly the deadliest in a
series that have killed dozens ahead of the elections set for Saturday.
