Pakistan: Video, music market blown up
Militants blew up two dozen video and music stalls on Wednesday in a Pakistani region on the Afghan border where supporters of al-Qaeda and the Taliban have tried to enforce strict Muslim rule, witnesses said.
No one was hurt in the attack on the market in the northwestern town of Miranshah in the North Waziristan region, part of an ethnic Pashtun tribal belt in northwest Pakistan that has never come under the control of any government. "About 25 masked militants came at about 1:30 am (1930 GMT) planted explosives and blew up the entire market," said Mohammad Sakhi, who runs a workshop next to the market. (Reuters)
