In Pakistan, the death toll from Thursday’s massive suicide bombing has reached at least seventy. Three suicide bombers blew themselves up outside Pakistan’s largest arms and ammunition factory. The bombing was the deadliest attack by the Taliban since they began hitting Pakistani government sites more than eighteen months ago. A Taliban spokesperson called the arms facility “a killer factory where arms are being produced to kill our women and children.” The Taliban said the attack was in response to Pakistan’s decision to launch a major military campaign in the Banjur tribal area. Over the past three weeks, more than 200,000 Pakistanis in the region have been forced to flee their homes because of the fighting.
