Bombers leave 23 dead in Pakistan
12 April 2012
TWO suicide bombers attacked the house of a senior military officer in the Pakistan city of Quetta today, killing his wife and 22 others.
The first man blew up a car next to a group of Frontier Corp officers close to the home of the force's local deputy chief. Hurling grenades, the second attacker stormed the house and blew himself up inside.
Police were investigating whether the strike was in revenge for the recent arrests in Quetta of three leading al Qaeda suspects, an operation assisted by the CIA.
