More than 128 people killed in Pakistan suicide bombing

More than a hundred people have been killed in a suicide bombing in Pakistan as tensions rise in the country ahead of an election on July 25.

At least 128 people died in the explosion at an election rally in the southwestern province of Baluchistan.

Siraj Raisani, a candidate running for a provincial assembly, was among those killed in the town of Mastung.

It was the deadliest attack in Pakistan in four years.

Hours after the bombing, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was arrested after making a high-profile return to the country.

Sharif was given a 10-year prison sentence in absentia on corruption charges last week, but he accuses Pakistan's powerful security establishment of conspiring against him before the election.

The former PM was taken into custody along with his daughter Maryam in the northern city of Lahore.

They were later taken to Islamabad from where they are expected to launch an appeal and apply for bail.

More of a political assassination than a suicide bombing, no?

lol...good post. I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would gather for a rally or go to busy market place anywhere in the middle east.

These muzzies are just freakin nuts. Well, come to think of it, thugs in the inner city loop here in Houston are just as bad. lol

The same may soon go for Dearbornistan and Minneapolistan.

When you think about it Islamabad is a spot on name. If you go to wiki it explains it derives from Islam and abad which means city of Islam but from an english perspective it takes on a more truthful meaning. :)

muzzies killing muzzies. Not worthy of the news. Only when a human puts a ham sandwich on the doorknob of a mosque - that makes the news as a hate crime.

Can you imagine if muzzies had hate crime laws? Half of them would be in jail and the other half indicted.
