Pakistani Taliban attack on enemy commander's compound kills 17
A suicide attack by the Pakistani Taliban on the compound of
an enemy militant commander in northwest Pakistan killed at least 17 people and
wounded 22 others Thursday. The attack took place at the compound of MullahNabi Hanfi, who had been supporting government forces fighting against the
Taliban. Taliban attackers had driven an explosive-laden vehicle at the
compound early Thursday, causing large-scale damage. At least one woman and one
child were reported to be among the dead. Hanfi turned against the Pakistani
Taliban after developing differences with its leadership and formed his own
group. Since parting ways, both groups have frequently targeted each other.
Pakistani Taliban spokesman Shaidulalh Shaid claimed responsibility for the
attack, saying anyone who opposes to the group's ideology and fights against it
would be on its hit list.
