| KHAR: Five shops, including a music centre and two barbershops, were destroyed in two bomb blasts in Inayat Kalay town, about six kilometres from Bajaur Agency headquarters, officials said on Sunday. There were no casualties in the blasts because the shops were closed at the time. The first bomb exploded in a barbershop at around 9:00pm on Saturday, while the second bomb exploded in a music centre at around 3:00am on Sunday. Nobody has claimed responsibility for the blasts. The Taliban have told barbers in Bajaur Agency not to shave peopleÂ’s beards, and most barbers are abiding by the order. |

| #1 Remember this the next time some dolt argues the problem is about Israel, George Bush, etc. Especially if that dolt has shaved or listens to music or thinks there is a problem with marrying six-year olds. |
