38 people reported to have died in a suicide bombing during a political rally in the North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan yesterday (05 April). The attack occurred in the town of Timergarah in north East Pakistan.
The attacker detonated a bomb, thereby blowing himself in Timargarah, 80 km (50 miles) northeast of the provincial capital, Peshawar, the principal town in the Lower Dir district.
Pakistani security forces led a major operation against the Taliban in this region.
"We have received 38 dead bodies," Doctor Wakeel Ahmed, head of the principal hospital in the town told AFP. "There are more than 100 injured. Most of them are in a serious condition," he added.
Meanwhile, a suicide bomber killed two policemen and wounded a third near the police headquarters of a town in Russia’s North Caucasus region of Ingushetia yesterday (05 April).
The bombing in Karabulak, about 20 km (12 miles) from the regional capital Magas, followed suicide attacks in Moscow and the Dagestan region of the Caucasus over the past week that killed 50 people.
"Karabulak was rocked by a second blast at the scene of the suicide bombing", quoting the officials Reuters reported.
Fears of a new bombing campaign against the Russian heartland intensified after a twin bomb attack on a railway line in Dagestan on Sunday that security forces said was linked to the other attacks.
