Pakistan

A Taliban suicide bomber killed 13 Pakistanis, including four policemen, and wounded 22 in a blast at a bakery in Mardan. A Pakistani general said al Qaeda is not plotting attacks from the tribal areas as he showed suicide training camps run by Baituallh Mehsud. The Taliban occupied the home of a minister of parliament in Bajuar and fired rockets at a police station in Swabi.
