80 people dead after car bomb in Pakistan

voanews, latimes, bernama

On Wednesday in Pakistan a car bomb ripped right through a busy market street leaving 80 people dead. This is one of the deadliest incidents in Pakistan for a long time. This happened while Hilary was touring. Pakistan is in a war with the Taliban militants along the Afghan boarder. The U.S is on the side of the Pakistan's and support them to fight off the Taliban's then the bomb ripped through a busy market area in the afternoon.

My opinion is that it is sad that some lunatic would think about setting off a bomb to kill 80 innocent people and leaving over 200 people injured. You may be in a war but that's no excuse to move to the city and kill all those people. A war to me is meant to be out in the middle of nowhere where anybody who is not in the military can't be harmed. In this case, nearly 300 people were harmed and that is unacceptable. Take out to the country and fight there, things will go better out there and there wouldn't be all of these bombing in cities. This situation saddens me deeply and I hope the situation improves in Pakistan and hope the families can identify their loved ones.
