Pakistan Bomber Kills 75 at Volleyball Tournament

A suicide bomber set off an explosives-laden vehicle on a field during a volleyball tournament today in northwest Pakistan, killing at least 75 people and wounding more than 60. The blast took place in a congested neighorhood in Lakki Marwat city, not far from South Waziristan, and the force of it knocked down nearby houses.

"The locality has been a hub of militants," said the local police chief. "Locals set up a militia and expelled the militants from this area. This attack seems to be reaction to their expulsion." Also today, a suspected US missile struck a car carrying alleged militants in the North Waziristan tribal region, killing three men, officials said. It was the second such strike in less than a day.
