Pak Suicide Bomber Kills Dozens

(Jamrud, Pakistan) The death toll is at 50 with more expected after a teenage suicide bomber exploded himself among worshippers at a mosque yesterday.

No one claimed responsibility for the attack in Jamrud, a main town in Khyber, but officials suspected Taliban militants who have been active for past years in the tribal region that shares border with Afghanistan.

Officials earlier said 34 people had been killed.

"Many of the wounded succumbed to their injuries, adding to the toll that may rise further as there are still people in critical condition," region's top government administrator Mutahir Zeb said.

Zeb said the attack was carried out by a teenage boy who struck when worshippers were offering prayers.

The mosque is located in an area inhabited by Kokikhel tribesmen, who are opposed to Taliban activity and have been fighting to push them out of their region. "The blast could be a reaction to that," Zeb said.

It will take time to determine total casualty count and overall property damage.

Note that this incident is only one in a continuum of instances where Muslims murder Muslims. Empirically, infidels are not the main enemy of Muslims. It's themselves.
