Desi-Digest: Bomb-Kills 24 in Pakistan

A suspected militant walked into a crowd of police guarding a courthouse and blew himself up, killing 24 others in an attack, the first in Pakistan since the assassination of Benazir-Bhutto.
"There was a huge bang," said Munrian Bibi, 60, a school cleaner caught in the blast as she headed home from work. "I saw people falling on ground crying for help. I don't know what saved my life from that hell," she said.
There was no claim of responsibility. The government has blamed previous attacks on so-called Islamic radicals. Bhutto's supporters have-questioned whether elements within the government may have played a role.
