9 more killed as Taliban attacks target secular campaigns in PakistanISLAMABAD, Pakistan — The Taliban in Pakistan has stepped up its campaign of terror attacks in an effort to stymie public meetings by secular political parties ahead of a general election scheduled for May 11.
Dual attacks Sunday targeted the offices of two political parties in the northwest part of Pakistan, killing nine people. In the first attack, a suicide bomber blew himself up at a political office in the city of Kohat, killing six and injuring nine.
The second bombing, in the suburb of Peshawar, killed three and injured 11. Pakistani officials said the attacks were designed to suppress political participation by secular parties.
Again, the Islamic fanatics are desperate to prevent people finding a new way, a different way, a way that shows the light away from violence, backwardness, hatred, oppression and terror. The Pakistani secularist s seem very brave people, the light at the end of the tunnel in Pakistan.
I wonder if there are any secularist organisations in Pakistan I could support?
