Pakistan - Suicide Attack Kills 8 - NYTimes.com A suicide bomber on a motorcycle attacked a pro-government tribal elder's vehicle in northwest Pakistan on Monday, killing at least eight people, the police said. The elder, Malik Habibullah Khan, was not in the vehicle at the time of the attack, but his brother and a guard were killed, said a police officer, Aleem Khan. The explosion in the Hangu district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province also wounded nine people, the officer said. No one had claimed responsibility for the attack. Suspicion was likely to fall on the Pakistani Taliban, who have been fighting an insurgency against the government that has killed thousands of civilians and security personnel. Critics of the new government have called its response to attacks weak and confused. At least 160 people have been killed in attacks in the government's first month in power.
