A woman in Pakistan killed herself and at least 15 others when she set a bomb off at a crowded police stop at around 8:25 a.m. on Monday. This bombing caused harm to around 22 people and was the first recorded female suicide bombing in Pakistan. The police had preceding knowledge that there was going to be a female suicide bombers in this town. There has been previous reports that women were being educated in how to carry out these bombings. Four police officers are dead and 11 others were killed in this attack. They believe it was not intended for the security forces. Seven of the people involved in the bombing are presumed in critical condition. In past months, the military has issued roughly attacks daily on North Waziristan since the treated was done away with. The militants blamed them for violating the deal by sending out troops to places where they agreed they would not. “Pakistan is a key ally of the U.S. in its war on terror and says it has about 90,000 troops in the northwest tribal areas to combat militancy and prevent infiltration into neighboring Afghanistan.”
This article just amazed me because I would never have expected women to perform such violent acts and suicide. The people of this country are performing terrorist attacks and killing innocent people everyday. They are even willing to go as far as to killing themselves. I just can’t believe that these people are willing to go so far and kill innocent people.
