At least 80 people were killed in a double suicide bombing attack on a paramilitary police center in northwest Pakistan and claimed by the Taliban as their "first strike" to avenge the death of Osama bin Laden. These Islamist insurgents affiliated with al Qaeda and authors of a very bloody bombing campaign in Pakistan, had threatened to retaliate against Islamabad and its security forces, accusing them of complicity in an attack on a U.S.
command killed Bin Laden for 12 days in the north of the country. "It's a first action to avenge the martyrdom of Osama, was perpetrated by two of our fighters," he said by telephone Ehsanul Ehsan, a spokesman for the Taliban Movement of Pakistan (TTP). On Friday Shabqadar, a village northwest of the country, two men on a motorcycle detonated bombs they carried in the body.
At least 88 people died, 69 of them from the center of Frontier Constabulary Police and 11 civilians. More than 140 people were injured and about 40 of them are struggling between life and death. It was the deadliest attack this year in Pakistan. U.S. officials said that among the captured files in the home of Osama bin Laden is an extensive pornographic material.
