KHAR:
A woman allegedly planning to blow herself up was arrested on Wednesday in the Bajaur tribal region where 43 people were killed two months ago in a suicide attack, officials said.
“Security forces and local administration officials raided a house near Khar in the morning and arrested a woman wearing a suicide vest,” said senior local official Sohail Khan.
He said the raid was ordered on a tip-off that women were being trained as suicide bombers in the residential area of Siddiqabad near Khar. He said five other people were also arrested, including two other women from the same house.
“All six people are being interrogated,” he added, giving no details. Two local intelligence officials confirmed the raid and arrests.

Female suicide bombers….finally something in which Taliban recognise equal gender oppurtunityRecommend
How Taliban can justify a woman leaving “chadar and chardiwari” and then going out without mehram….to blow herself….isn’t it against their own doctrines……..??????
If women do not deserve to even do the soberest of deeds and that is to seek knowledge (as taliban wrongly claim) then how can it be justified that they should leave their domestic duties………….and blow themselves….????
beware of shuttle cock bombers…………….Recommend
just curious can some noble pakistani tell if the following is for men only or also for women?
QURAN 52:24, 56:17 and 76:19Recommend
Just goes to show how degenerate these anti state criminals of the Taleban can be. They have no dignity and honour. The government must redouble efforts to eradicate these criminals.Recommend
when it comes to killing and spreading death and destruction the Taliban will go to any length to achieve their goals. Down with the Taliban and their supporters.Recommend
@sudhir: Quran is for Muslims of the world in particular and for everybody in general and not just for “noble pakistani” contrary to your “noble” assertion.Nevertheless,if your query is more than just curiosity,which i doubt in the first place then you should consult someone who has a better knowledge of the subject and has studied religion as per its requirements.By asking queries like these on paper blogs youl just get random invidual interpretations which wont help the “noble” you.Recommend
@junaid
i thought Quran is supposed be a”final” message and “clear” to everyone. Pardon my ignorance, i am not muslim.
Now that you told me i cannot form my own opinion about it and need to seek expert advice kindly also tell me, how do i know who is the right person to ask? at first glance there are so many interpretations on internet that I am confused.Recommend
