Bombings kill 11 in Pakistan amid political feuds

Militants shoot doom US drone

Ap, Afp, Peshawar/ Mlranshah
A bomb-laden car exploded yesterday in northwest Pakistan as police tried to pull a body from it, authorities said, killing seven police and a bystander as international fears grow over security and political stability in the nuclear-armed country.
al-Qaeda, Taliban and linked militants have staged numerous attacks against security forces along Pakistan's northwest border with Afghanistan, but Saturday's appeared to be the first to use a body as a lure. It occurred in the Badaber area, where residents recently evicted militants with help from police, prompting threats of retaliation.
Separately, a roadside bomb struck a military convoy in the northwest town of Darra Adam Khel, killing three passers-by and wounding four troops, government official Asif Khan said. The explosions came days after gunmen attacked Sri Lanka's cricket team in eastern Pakistan and ahead of expected anti-government rallies later this month involving the main opposition party.
Meanwhile, Taliban militants on Saturday shot down a pilotless US drone
in a Pakistani tribal area bordering Afghanistan, officials said.
Residents and a local police official said two drones were flying low over a village in the South Waziristan tribal district when one of them was hit by militant fire.
"We heard the firing by Taliban and then a drone fell down," tribal police official Israr Khan told AFP.
Another security official said the drone crashed in a forest near a Pakistani border post.
"Apparently a drone has crashed in the nearby forest, we are searching for Its wreckage," a security official told AFP.
The turmoil is of great concern to US and other Western officials, who need Pakistan to focus on fighting militancy. Many militants are believed to use pockets of Pakistan's northwest as bases to plan attacks on American and Nato forces inAfghanistan.
British Foreign Secretary David Miliband on Friday urged Pakistani politicians to stop feuding and focus on the threat from Islamist militants the most direct appeal yet from the West regarding the country's political turmoil.
Miliband said it was "vital" that Pakistani President Asif All Zardari and opposition leader Nawaz Sharif "unite against the mortal threat that Pakistan faces, which is a threat from its Internal enemies."
On Saturday, officers were dispatched to Badaber, which lies on the outskirts of the main northwest city of Peshawar, after an unknown caller told them a body was in a parked car, according to Police Chief Rahim Shah.
"Police went there They found the white car. They also saw a body inside, but when they were pulling it out, the car bomb went off," he said, calling the set-up a "new technique "
Footage from the scene showed a police van whose front was decimated.
The attack occurred just outside the Khyber tribal region, a part of Pakistan's semiautonomous tribal belt where military forces have staged offensives to stem militant activity. Pakistan recently claimed victory in an offensive against militants in Bajur, another tribal region Officials also say they are close to flushing out militants in nearby Mohmand tribal area.
