Bombings connected to election kill 18 in Pakistan

None

Three bombings in northwest Pakistan targeting individuals involved in this week's national elections killed 18 people, police said, pushing the death toll from attacks on candidates and party workers to over 100 since the beginning of April.

 

Two of Tuesday's attacks targeted candidates from Islamist parties, indicating a new trend in the pre-election violence, which had only plagued secular parties before this week. (AP)
