Suicide bomber kills 48 in Pakistan mosque
None
A suicide bomber struck worshippers during prayers Friday at a mosque close to the Afghan border, killing 48 people in an attack one official said may have been aimed at anti-Taliban elders praying during the holy month of Ramadan.
Militants have frequently attacked tribesmen who have dared speak up, or raise arms, against them in the border region, where al-Qaida and the Pakistan Taliban have long held sway. Rifts between insurgent factions have also led to mass casualty attacks there. (AP)
