Pakistan has witnessed a series of terror strikes as the army battles the Taliban in mountainous South Waziristan. The Taliban have vowed to retaliate. The latest wave of militant violence started with a suicide bombing at the offices of the UN World Food Programme in Islamabad October 5. Peshawar faced this year’s worst terror attack in October 28 when over 110 people were killed in a massive bombing at a crowded market.
