| Suicide bomb kills Brit convert |
| 2010-02-23 |
| A BRITISH woman has been killed in a suicide bombing in Pakistan -- after reportedly converting to Islam just a month ago. Worked well, didn't it ... The woman was among eight people who died in the huge blast in a bustling market in Pakistan's war-torn Swat Valley region yesterday. Dozens of others -- including the woman's Pakistani husband -- were injured in the attack in Mingora, the area's main city. It is believed the attack was aimed at Pakistan's security forces who were on patrol in the market. A military spokesman confirmed two soldiers were among the 37 people injured in the attack. The Foreign Office has confirmed that a Briton was one of the victims. A spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that a British national was killed in the attack in Swat Valley on February 22. Next of kin have been informed and we are providing consular assistance." The woman had converted to Islam a month ago, Pakistan's Daily Times newspaper reported. |
