New violence flares in Pakistan

Suspected militants bombed a bus carrying prisoners in northwest Pakistan today, killing at least nine people, as fighting between security forces and extremists flared across the country’s tribal belt.

The powerful blast left a massive crater in the middle of a bridge in Bannu and left the burnt-out vehicle completely mangled.

The fresh violence comes days after ex-president Pervez Musharraf, a longtime U.S. ally, resigned as president, triggering a scramble for power that caused the country’s ruling coalition to collapse.
