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.
Pakistan suicide bombs kill 80 to avenge bin Laden

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.

^ 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.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajioon.
The worst part is, the revenge on Bin Laden's death is just beginning. God knows what these crazy people would do next
If you begin to live life relating to the God who is all around you, every moment becomes a prayer.

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.
i request u all bro and sis..plz stop believing this western media.
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.

It is pointless to watch other people's houses crumbling when our own house is in need of repair and attention.
that is strikingly appropriate =) It is as I always say people let you in on their own psychology unwittingly ..

Text without context is pretext If your opponent is of choleric temperament, seek to irritate him
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.

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.
