The blasts in the northwest were a reminder of the savagery of al-Qaida-linked militants in Pakistan. They occurred even as the country faces international suspicion that elements within its security forces may have been harboring bin Laden, who was killed in a raid in Abbottabad, about a three hours' drive from the scene of the bombing.
"We have done this to avenge the Abbottabad incident," Ahsanullah Ahsan, a spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban, told The Associated Press in a phone call.

From what the news online is saying the Taliban are stirring up more hate towards others including the U.S. I hope our friend Ali will be safe over there in Pakistan.
Godsgift: Oh, it began a long time ago! They kill us, we kill them, they kill us, we kill them. The solution is hardly rocket science!
its crazy..from what the news article says two guys "blew themseves up" to kill almost 80 people? What kind of mentality does this? I'm now worried what the heck else is going to happen?
Somebody should go over there, take their toys away from them, send them off to bed early, without any supper. No TV or/and Internet for a month, remove their iPods...and no phone calls in or out to friends/family. No playing with the family sheep, out of sight/hidden!
Ya these taliban are nuts..From what the news is saying they are stirring up all kinds of hate threats now. One report says even Prince Harry is being threatened by the taliban. Two guys put bombs on themselves and blew themselves up to kill 80 people in the Pakistan military training school..This is pretty sick stuff..

Nothing new there Swiss,that's how they become martyrs of their beliefs. The pilots didn't bail out at 911.

Sadly, Swiss that is the mindset of the folk concerned. There is no dicussing facts with these folk. They have been radicalised and in the main are happy to die and we cannot fathom that mindset.
The radical Mullahs and radical leaders have indoctrinated these folk for their own purposes and the fact that many are illiterate and do not ever read or understand the rest of the worlds religions. Due to the fact they are not allowed to listen to or read anything that is not Islamic shows what we are against.
SAD FACT THAT THE LESS EDUCATED AND POOR ARE OFTEN THE TARGETS FOR THESE SO CALLED LEADERS.

They already are..There has been tons of threats made against Englands Prince Harry and the royals because of their involvment in the war. Here is only one of many articles online today.
