Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Multiple Bombings Kill 120 in Pakistan

HeadlineJan 11, 2013

At least 120 people were killed in Pakistan Thursday in a series of bombing attacks mostly targeting Shiite Muslims and government soldiers. Eighty-six deaths came in a twin bombing in the southern city of Quetta, with scores dying in an initial blast followed by more deaths when a car bomb struck police and rescuers who arrived at the scene. The banned Sunni group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi claimed responsibility for the attack, prompting fears of worsening sectarian violence in Pakistan after more than 400 deaths in 2012.
