Under attack

Once again, Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province has been rocked by violence, with a suicide bombing attack having already claimed 42 lives, and with the death toll likely to mount. The attack occurred at a political meeting organised by the Jamait-Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl, a political party that seeks Islamic rule in the country, but one that has opted to be a part of the democratic process in order to achieve its ends.
