A suicide bomber struck a mosque frequented by anti-Taliban tribal elders in northwestern Pakistan during afternoon prayers today (November 5, 2010), killing at least 67 people, according to the Associated Press website.
Later in the day, three grenade blasts killed three people at a mosque in another northwest area where an anti-Taliban militia was active.
In the first attack -- which occurred in Darra Adam Khel -- the Sunni mosque's roof collapsed, as hundreds of worshipers were gathered inside, and many victims were trapped in the debris.
In the second incident, three hand grenades exploded during evening prayers at a Sunni mosque in the Badhber area near Peshawar, Pakistan. Along with three dead, the blasts wounded 24 others, said police official Ejaz Khan.
