MORE than 90 people, mainly women and children, were killed when a suspected Taleban car bomb exploded in a Pakistan market yesterday, as US secretary of state Hillary Clinton arrived in the country to pledge support for the campaign against Islamist militants.
More than 200 were injured in the blast in the north-western city of Peshawar, the deadliest in a series of attacks this month.

The government blamed militants seeking to avenge this month's army offensive against al-Qaeda and the Taleban in their South Waziristan stronghold, close to the Afghan border.

Mrs Clinton, on her first visit to Pakistan as secretary of state, was a three-hour drive away in the capital, Islamabad, when the bomb exploded.

She praised the army's anti-Taleban offensive in South Waziristan and offered support. "I want you to know this fight is not Pakistan's alone," she said. "These extremists are committed to destroying what is dear to us as much as they are committed to destroying that which is dear to you and to all people. So this is our struggle as well."

Standing beside her, Pakistani foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said the violence would not break his government's will to fight back. "The resolve and determination will not be shaken," he said. "People are carrying out such heinous crimes – they want to shake our resolve. I want to address them: We will not buckle. We will fight you. We will fight you because we want peace and stability in Pakistan."

I've been expecting this, and I certainly hope Hillary is safe.  It wouldn't surprise me if someone was paid to take her out.

Thank Heaven she's ok. Condolences to the families of those killed in this senseless attack. My prayers are with them. Thanks for posting this.

She's out of Pakistan now. Not that her next stops are a whole lot safer.
