A car bomb near a marketplace in north-western Pakistan has killed at
least 13 people, officials say.
More than 20 were injured in the blast, which occurredat a bus stand
in Landi Kotal, a town near the Afghan border.
The bomb appeared to be aimed at members of a pro-government tribe who
have formed an anti-Taliban militia.
Landi Kotal is in the Khybertribal agency, part of Pakistan's tribal
north-westwhich has seen frequent attacks by Taliban militants.
The town lies close to the Torkham crossing into Afghanistan.
"The blast was so powerful,it was heard far and wide and caused damage
to nearby buildings," resident Sher Mohammad Shinwari told Reuters
news agency.
The bomb went off at a time when many passengers were at the busstand,
a local official told the BBC.
The death toll may rise as many sustained serious injuries, officials say.
The attack is believed to have been aimed at members of the Zakha
Kheltribe, which has been targeted by militants before.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
