Suicide bombers target Pakistani general; 23 killed

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — A pair of suicide bombings targeting a top army officer killed at least 23 people early Wednesday in the southwestern city of Quetta, police said, two days after Pakistan announced the arrests of three senior al-Qaeda leaders in the same city. The blasts struck the residence of Brig. Gen. Farrukh Shahzad, deputy head of the paramilitary Frontier Corps in Quetta, injuring him and killing his wife. Another senior army officer, identified as a colonel, was killed, police said. The Pakistani Taliban quickly asserted responsibility for the blasts, and police said they were investigating the motive. A spokesman for the militant organization told some news agencies that the attack was carried out to avenge the recent arrests, which were conducted by Pakistan’s top spy agency and the Frontier Corps. But a Taliban spokesman told the Associated Press that the bombings were meant as payback for an incident in which Frontier Corps troops killed five people at a checkpoint in May.
