Bomber kills 11, wounds 35 near mosque in Peshawar

No word on whether Bush plans to send American troops to Pakistan to stop Sunni-Shi'ite strife there. From The Associated Press:

A suspected suicide attacker exploded a bomb near a Shia mosque in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar late Saturday, killing at least 11 people, including the city police chief, and wounding 35, police said.

Most of the victims were police and municipal officials who were clearing the route for a procession of Shias in a crowded old quarter of the city, said police officer Aziz Khan. The procession had yet to begin.

This weekend marks the start of the festival of Ashoura, when Shias mourn the seventh-century death of the prophet Muhammad's grandson, Imam Hussein. In the past the festival has been a target for sectarian attacks.

The blast went off in a bazaar area about 180 metres from the mosque that was the starting point for the Shia procession. It caused a power outage that left the city centre in darkness, complicating rescue efforts.

Probably, their sacriment is laced with TNT ? I've heard "salt-peter" slows down a guy's hormones, but this is ridiculous ! Just find where the TNT is coming from and "whip their asses!"

AGAIN, we have proof that muslims are evil reincarnated,
What hope do we have as Christians and non-muslims to live safely with muslims in the western world when MUSLIMS ARE KILLING FELLOW MUSLIMS IN THEIR OWN LANDS?!?

Any apologists dare to answer me?

Muslims will kill each other depending if they are shiite or sunni.

If they ever killed off all non-muslims they would than turn on each other until all would be dead and this planet empty of life.

Islam is evil and lives only to kill.

How much more evidence do halfwit libtards and leftists need to see islam is evil and needs to be banned?

I will never support muslim owned stores or businesses and I avoid them in my local mall.
Why should I shop there so they can send 10% of their money every year back to the ME to buy more bombs and bullets to kill us?
No thanks.

DID you know......

"More people are killed by Islamists each year than in all 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition combined"

The 350 (?) years of the Spanish inquestion was the Spanish rulers attempts to rid itself of remnants of the Islamic hordes that had invaded them.

SO, even the Spanish inquestions were caused by Islam, except it was they who were the target group for a change.

Preceeding the inquestions, it was the Muslims who were exterminating anyone they thought were Christian rebels, who were hiding in the hills in Northern Spain, who eventualy overthrew the Muslim occupation.

And we shall do so once again.. this time the Christians will include English and Scots, Germans and Poles, Italians and French and Russians too.

We're all pretty PISSED OFF!!!

60 years of peace and non-violence.. where has it gotten us? Works GREAT among us Europeans. Too bad we took so long to figure it out.

But it does NOT work with mahometans.

Wake UP!!!!!!
