| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The ISIS group on Saturday grabbed credit for a suicide kaboom that destroyed a marketplace in Pakistain’s restive northwestern tribal region, as the corpse count climbed to 33. The blast happened during a regular Friday bazaar in Kalaya, a town in a Shiite-dominated area of Orakzai tribal district. In a statement posted on Amaq, the news site of the group, ISIS said claimed "57 Shiites were killed and 75 were maimed" in the attack . However, if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well... on Saturday the top official for Orakzai district Khalid Iqbal told AFP that the corpse count was 33, up from 31 on Friday. "Among the dead are three Hindu merchants," he added. Pakistain has officially denied existence of ISIS on its soil but the group has grabbed credit for some of the deadly attacks in Pakistain. Orakzai is one of seven restive semi-autonomous tribal regions on the Afghan border, an area that has long been a focal point in the global war on terror and was famously described by Barack Obama If you like your coverage you can keep it... as "the most dangerous place in the world". Washington has said that the mountainous region provides safe havens to gunnies including the Afghan Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... and Al Qaeda -- an allegation that Islamabad denies. |
