68 killed in suicide bomb blast in Pakistan

[Woodrow]

Two explosions struck a paramilitary training centre in northwestern Pakistan on Friday, killing at least 68 people - nearly all recruits - in the bloodiest attack in the country since the US raid killed Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden.

A suicide bomber detonated at least one of the blasts in the Shabqadar area of Charsadda district, police said.

Dozens of people also were wounded when the explosions went off at a main gate of the Frontier Constabulary training site, police official Nisar Khan said.

Many recruits were boarding vehicles to go home for a short break at the end of a recent training session.

No group immediately claimed responsibility. But militants have pledged to avenge bin Laden's May 2 killing, and many have been expecting reprisal strikes on Pakistani territory.

HABQADAR, Pakistan – A pair of Taliban suicide bombers attacked paramilitary police recruits eagerly heading home for a break after months of training, killing 80 people Friday in the first act of retaliation for the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden.

In claiming responsibility, the al-Qaida linked militant group cited anger at Pakistan's military for failing to stop the American incursion on their soil.

The blasts in the northwest were a reminder of the savagery of Islamist insurgents in Pakistan. Tensions also have risen between the U.S. and Islamabad over allegations that some elements of Pakistani security forces had been harboring bin Laden, who died in a May 2 raid in Abbottabad, a garrison town about three hours' drive from the scene of the bombing.

The Pakistani Taliban said they carried out the attack to avenge the death of Osama Bin Laden earlier this month.

"It's the first revenge for the martyrdom of... Bin Laden. There will be more," Taliban spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan told the Reuters news agency by telephone from an undisclosed location.

i request u all bro and sis..plz stop believing this western media. u ppl dont know the ground realities. the real talibaan and ppl who participated in afghan war with osama bin laden had never kill even a single pakistani. i know them, they are knowledgeable ppl from mudrassa and they had close relation with pak army and ISI and they know allah swt dont like killing of innocent muslims.
these soucide attakers are ignorant ppl who was lofar and ghunda type and america buy their eman in few thousands dollars and they grew their beards and bcm taliban. they never participated in any war in afghanistan or any other war against non muslims, so they have no relation with osama or mulla omer. they named theirself as talibaan to blackmail real taliban and islam.
it will most interesting for u ppl that america NEVER did any drone attack on them (swat) but he always target Mulla Nazir + haqani group (wazirsitan). if america is against terrorist y he had not attack them ever ?????
actaully america itself is the biggest terrorist of the world and where he goes, on the name of peace he gave local ppl this gift of bomb blast, killing, corruption.....iraq, afghan and pak are exapmle of this.

actually the problem is that there isn't any other source than this fake media to reveal the truth... even the media of Pakistan doesn't want to speak the reality but to that what the western media says..

You're right. The sources from where we get our news aren't exactly reliable or trustworthy.

So when the truth is unknown, it's better not to engage in speculation, for only Allah knows the truth of all affairs. We might be doing harm to ourselves if we say things that are untrue, support things that are untrue and speak without knowledge regarding the whole picture.

As-Salāmu `Alaykum (السلام عليكم):


We continue to be dismayed at how Muslims refuse to accept there are Muslims who are not practicing or applying
the laws of Allah.

During the times of Nabi Muhammad ibn Abdullah (

) there were identical issues of people claiming to be
Muslim committing all types of acts against the practicing Muslims.

The Muslims own Islamic history confirms the difficult issues faced by the earlier Muslim Ummah.
A history not replied upon from non-Muslims.

Many practicing Muslims turn a blind eye on the atrocities committed by people claiming to embrace Islam.

Usually not understanding the difference from having a religion by tradition verses faith. Many Christians have
the religion by tradition verses faith. The same is true in Islam. You have at least five Masjid in a two mile radius
with the cultural and tribal make-up of the members.

How many can explain the The Pillars of Islam (arkan al-Islam), Iman (Articles of Faith) or Aqīdah (Islamic theology)?

You are naive if you think that tribalism and cultural interests are not promoted by many before
applying Islam. The cultures of countries are promoted before Islam.

A practicing Muslims Taqwa and Iman prevents them from intentionally lying and misappropriating the facts
knowing it will not weigh in our favor on Yawm al-Qiyāmah ( يوم القيامة‎ end of time)

The killing of innocent women, children, elderly and non combatants will have to be answered to Allah no matter
the denials.

The practicing Muslims reflect upon the commandments of Allah and the Sunnah of Nabi Muhammad ibn Abdullah (

).

The arrogant will continue to neglect the revelation.

This post was submitted with the best intentions and the best contruction should be used when reading it.

One man killed that many? Where do they get such powerful bombs from...

^ i dont think so. y they kill innocent muslim in revenge instead of american. atleast pak army has not killed osama. i am sure india, israel and america (black water and ramond devis type ppl) are behind these soucide attaks.

Not sure if these type of people straight out say killing innocents is ok. They have their own way of justifying it, which probably does involve twisting the words of the Holy Quran. Maybe they kill civilians and justify it by saying "they aren't innocent if they are paying taxes to support troops who kill us" or something.

[Ramadhan]

Is that how you described your attitude, trumble?

Remember when I posted Obama's Libya speech and I was saying that the US and european countries will get a lot more actively and directly militarily involved and you taunted me for that?

Well, newsflash for you: NATO just directly annihilated 11 imams in their sleep and wounded 50 others.
Are you denying this, denying that the western countries are heavily invested in Libya and still burying your head in the sand? beats burying your head where the sun don't shine I guess.

Those bombs could have served better purpose of blasting zionist and idf instead .

LOL... are you two forming a comedy double-act now? :statisfie

You know perfectly well the reference was to those in denial as to who carried out the attacks in Pakistan. Nothing to do with Libya. Or NATO airstrikes. Or fairy tales from Gaddafi.

I'll just leave you to your denial. What can I say, but...

Two explosions struck a paramilitary training centre in northwestern Pakistan

Did anyone note the word 'paramilitary'?

From Wikipedia:
A paramilitary is a force whose function and organization are similar to those of a professional military, but which is not considered part of a state's formal armed forces.
The term paramilitary is subjective, depending on what is considered similar to a military force, and what status a force is considered to have. The nature of paramilitary forces therefore varies greatly according to the speaker and the context.

What was the nature of this 'paramilitary training centre'?

If I understand correctly, this particular academy is a Police academy and provided the advanced training for Police Officers, not soldiers.
