On Thursday, 22 people were killed in a bombing on a Shiya Mosque on Peshawar, a city in northwest Pakistan.
The bombing hit the Imambarghah Mirza Qasim Baig, where Shiyas congregate for ceremonies on special days, like yesterday, 
the begining of Ashura, holiday that conmemorates the death of Imam Hussein, who was the grandson of the prophet Muhammad.

The militants broke the walls of the old outpost on the Afghan border with explosives.
The outpost is in the tribal and Taliban territory of South Waziristan, which is a stronghold for the Talibans, and there lives the warlord Baitullah Mehsud, who is the prime suspect of the assassination of Benasir Bhutto (q.e.p.d.)
Nearly 300 fighters with rifles, bazookas and granades went to take the fort.
Pakistan has attempted to crack down on the largely lawless tribal areas along the Afghan border under U.S. pressure. U.S. intelligence concluded in 2007 that that Taliban and its al Qaeda allies have carved out a new safe haven in that region, using it to stage attacks on U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan.
