Suicide Bombing Rocks Swat Valley | Lubbock News
Description
A suicide bomber struck a peaceful anti-militant rally in Pakistan’s Swat Valley, killing at least 14—including civilians and police—amid chants for peace as locals fear militants’ return. The region, once cleared of insurgents, now faces renewed threats. Top Pakistani leaders condemned the attack, pledged to crush terrorism, and promised medical aid. No group has claimed responsibility yet, but suspicion points to the Pakistani Taliban, linked to—but distinct from—the Afghan Taliban, many of whom operate from Afghanistan. With terrorist attacks surging across Pakistan this year, officials blame Afghan militants and allege tacit support from Kabul, which denies it.
