Morphine Prince 109,683 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 PESHAWAR, Pakistan -- At least 40 people were killed and nearly 100 wounded Friday in four separate bomb and gun attacks in three major Pakistani cities, officials said. A suicide bomber was involved in the first car bombing near the office of the provincial police chief in the southwestern city of Quetta that killed at least 12 people and wounded 20. There were conflicting claims of responsibility for this attack from different extremist groups. Hours later, twin bombings, minutes apart, hit a crowded market in a Shiite-dominated city in Parachinar, the main city in the Kurram tribal region and killed 24 people, mostly minority Shiite Muslims, according to government administrator Zahid Hussain. Friday evening, gunmen in the port city of Karachi attacked police officers at a roadside restaurant and killed four of them before fleeing, according to senior police officer Asif Ahmed. The bomb and gun attacks come a few days before the Muslim holiday of Eid-al-Fitr, which ends the holy month of Ramadan. TV footage showed panicked people rushing to safety following the Parachinar market bombings.

HOTNebraskaGuy 19,547 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 These things just never make sense. Who would dedicate their entire life to terrorize and kill innocent people. Rest In Peace to the victims, things like this keep happening all over the world and it's frustrating we haven't found a way to stop it.
