Actually it is a change tactics. Unlike before they are using more IED's than suicide bombers for such attacks. It i also said they first tried to plant it in the cantonment area but since due to high security they planted it at a hotel.

Exactly.....

To the dismay of many..I relate this change of tactics with Restrictions on US diplomatic staff...and them being hawk eyed by ISI...
Not only the number suicide attacks have declined,also the way they attack has changed...Previously it was exclusively suicide bombers..and they could explode anywhere anytime..Now its more of planted explosives and high value targets,and targets which have greater impact locally.
Also these days only KPK is the target,because of long border with Afghanistan and thats where "They" are based..The other provinces are safe for now...
What somebody is getting out of it?
Continuous pressure on GOP.....All financial and otherwise resources of Pakistan extensively being spent on Security..
Continued reason to pressurize Pakistan for cooperating in the WOT.

Over the decade of Pkaistan Based WOT has hurled us deep into the abyss and done no good to us......
The country needs to pull out of WOT and terror will fade away...

Five PAF personnel among 11 killed in Nowshera blast
26 August, 2011

NOWSHERA: Eleven persons, including five Pakistan Air Force officials, were killed and 25 others sustained injuries when a remote-controlled bomb went off at a restaurant here on Thursday evening.

Sources said the PAF officials had arranged an Iftar party at the Decent Hotel located in the Cantonment Plaza on the Mardan-Nowshera Road when an explosive device, fitted to a kidís tricycle, exploded at 8.20pm. The explosion occurred when the PAF officials and a large number of civilians were sitting down for the Iftar dinner at the hotel.

Some of the dead were identified as Abdul Latif, GE Air, Muhammad Usman, Sub-engineer Abdul Hafeez, Hashim, Shahbaz, Asif, Latifullah and Nazim. The injured included Army Lance Naik Ahmed Iqbal, Sajjad, Bilal and Naveed. The PAF officials who sustained injuries included SAC Muhammad Ali, JT Atif, ST Muqadar and ST Ali.

The dead included five air force men and some civilians. The owner of the hotel and waiters sustained serious injuries in the blast. Sources said the blast was of mild intensity and partially damaged the hotel building and some nearby shops.

The explosion sent a wave of fear among the shoppers and residents and most of the markets were quickly closed down. Soon after the blast, security forces and rescue teams rushed to the spot and launched a rescue operation.

Sources said that the injured were shifted to the Combined Military Hospital in Risalpur, the District Headquarters Hospital, Nowshera, and Mardan Medical Complex.

District Police Officer Muhammad Hussain said that it was a remote-controlled bomb fitted to a tricycle. He said following the explosion, the police started a search operation in Peshawar and its outskirts and arrested 22 suspects. Hussain and Liaqat Shabab visited the blast site and supervised the rescue operation.

APP adds: Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani has strongly condemned the Nowshera bomb blast. Expressing deep condolences with the bereaved families, the Prime Minister directed law enforcement agencies to investigate the unfortunate incident and bring the perpetrators to justice.

He reiterated the government's resolve to stamp out the menace of militancy and terrorism from the country. He prayed to god to rest the departed souls in eternal peace and grant courage to the victims' families to bear the irreparable loss with fortitude.

Punjab Chief Minister Mohammad Shahbaz Sharif also condemned the attack and expressed deep sense of sorrow and grief over the loss of innocent lives.

Forum readers, instead of celebrating Ramadan do not TTP instead celebrate crimes against humanity? The last ten days of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan are the most blessed, but the TTP has no respect for the sanctity of these days and nights. Is it not the Taliban’s ideology to kill and create fear among people who refuse to adhere to their evil ways? Have we not seen them create mayhem at mosques, shrines, market places, malls, gatherings of village elders and in the cities? They use children as suicide bombers to do their dirty deeds. Should they not be brought to justice so the world can live in peace and our children can look forward to a prosperous future?
