Religion of Peace Strikes Again in Pakistan
At least eight more dead in the Pakistani jihad: Rocket attack kills 8 in Pakistan.
ISLAMABAD, July 25 (Reuters) - Islamist militants fired rockets into a northwestern Pakistani town on Wednesday, killing at least eight people and wounding nearly 40, police said, amid mounting violence along the Afghanistan frontier.
City police chief Daar Ali Khattak said four rockets hit Bannu, gateway to the North Waziristan tribal region bordering Afghanistan, which has been a hotbed of support for al Qaeda-linked militants.
“They hit civilian areas. Eight people, including a woman, have been killed,” Khattak told Reuters. He said 31 civilians and seven policemen were wounded.
