Deadly Attacks in Pakistan

In the past few days, Pakistan has been under a series of deadly terrorist attacks leaving more than a hundred dead and several wounded. These attacks, which were five in less than twenty-four hours, are what seems to be a warning to the military to abort its planned attack on the border of Afghanistan. The Taliban threatened the government that the attacks will continue in revenge for actions by the Pakistan Army.

One of the attacks took place in a residential building used by government employees in the city of Peshawar, where a bomb exploded. Nearly seven people were injured and is likely that a child may have died in the attack.

The headquarters of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and two police training centers in Lahore were also attacked by terrorists. This attack took the police three hours to get into control.

In another attack, a suicide bomber drove a car full of explosives into the front of a police station in Kohat. This left at least 37 people killed.
