BLAST AT ISLAMABAD RALLY
A suicide bomber killed at least a dozen people today in a rally in
Islamabad near the Pakistani Supreme Court building. Much of the
demonstration consisted of opposition party sympathizers and attorneys
who had gathered to hear an address by former Supreme Court chief
justice Iftikhar Chaudhry. Chaudhry's dismissal from the Supreme Court
in March by President Pervez Musharraf triggered intense protests by
pro-democracy Pakistanis. The bombing comes one week after security
forces stormed the controversial Red Mosque, something radical
Islamist groups in Pakistan have vowed to avenge.
