DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) — The Pakistani Taliban said Sunday the group had sent a husband and wife suicide squad to carry out an attack on a police station in northwestern Pakistan that killed 10 people, a rare instance of militants using a woman as a bomber.
The pair entered the police station in Kolachi on Saturday and said they were there to lodge a complaint, said Imtiaz Shah, a senior police official. Once inside, the two attacked with grenades and machine guns, triggering a five-hour standoff with police.
Both attackers, including the woman wearing an all-covering robe known as a burqa, eventually blew themselves up. They killed eight police officers and two civilians, said Mohammad Hussain, another police official.
“This shows how much we hate Pakistani security institutions,” Pakistani Taliban spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan told The Associated Press by telephone from an undisclosed location.
Ahsan claimed it was the first time the militant group had used a female suicide bomber.
However, Pakistani officials said a female suicide bomber wearing a burqa attacked a World Food Program food distribution center in northwestern Pakistan late last year, killing 45 people.
The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for that attack in Khar, the main city in the Bajur tribal area, but never claimed it was carried out by a female bomber. Still, that was believed to be the group’s first attack by a female suicide bomber.
Male suicide bombers often don the burqa as a disguise. In 2007, officials initially claimed Pakistan’s first female suicide bomber had killed 14 people in the northwest town of Bannu. But the attacker was later identified as a man.
Islamic militants in Iraq have used female suicide bombers several times because women in their all-covering robes are seen as able to pass more easily through security. Male security officers are often hesitant to search women.
Also Sunday, a bomb planted in a motorcycle exploded near a police station in the central city of Multan, said Zahid Zaman, a senior government official.
The blast wounded eight people, including four police officials, said Wasim Hashmi, chief of the rescue squad in Multan. No group claimed responsibility.

Posted on June 26, 2011 at 12:09pmI agree however let me add a very important note to this.
Islam isn’t just a belief created by a murderous pedophile honoring 1 of over 300 idol gods wrapped around a black rock taken from a ancient pagan religion. it’s a political entity. I don‘t know any other country in the world where the constitution is based on it’s holly book.
Islam has gained a foothold in our country under the guise of a religion when in fact it’s a murderous cult and a political force.
Once we understand this and our so called leaders stop preaching they are the religion of peace then we will be able to fight them on level ground. At this point their hiding behind the freedom of religion shroud and we cant touch them.

Your arguments are so transparent and your facts as usual are skewed. Americans drop bombs were Islamist are killing people. It’s unfortunate that Islamists wrap children around their bodies (not Americans) to insure some sort of Liberal media outcry when they die. Not to mention glorifying Allah and reaching paradise. Yet Islamists specifically target women and children and that seems to be perfectly fine with you. You have believed the lie or you are the lie.
You say, what would you do if a foreign government is working against your interest. Well that all depends on what your interest is. Killing your political opponent as well as innocent children or living. Again you believe the lie or you are the lie.
You say we do this in the name of cheap oil….where exactly is this cheap oil last I saw we’re still cruising the 4 dollar a gallon mark. Again you believe the lie or you are the lie.
Your so misinformed and completely void of all the facts. Or maybe thats the way you roll. Either way Your postings are very informative and enlighten us on just how gullible some people can be. It shows the level of ignorance that still ferments in the hate filled holes of the left and their utter contempt of my country.

Let’s just cover the cheap oil and get that over with. How many BILLIONS have the American people spent in the Middle East to build schools, roads, power plants and so much more? Have we gotten any reduction in the price of oil? Have we even asked the people of these nations to pay us back? The answer is that the oil is not cheap.
You see all Americans as responsible for the policy of our government. Well we see all your people as responsible for your governments. We have been attacked by supposedly peace loving individuals that if not actively supported then tacitly supported by these Middle Eastern governments and so by your people. We have dropped bombs on men, women and children, I agree. Well it seems that not all women are innocent as this incident shows. As for children, your murdering bombers don’t seem to draw any differentiation. Killing children like sending them to get their legs blown off so that the soldiers can attack through mine fields is quite the way to fight wars. As for the wonderful peace loving Hamas and their tactics, nuf said.
To the proxy regimes, we would not need to support them if they could stand on their own. What are your interests? Staying in the dark ages? Treating woman like chattel? Going to heaven and getting 72 virgins? By the way what’s in it for the woman?

It‘s as if they can’t seem to grasp the dangers inherent in the Islamic faith. Or they don’t want to. Or they despise Christians so much they don’t care. Or they‘re too dense to understand what they’re doing and the absurdity of their beliefs.
