The Canadian Press: Suicide bomber, grenades hit 2 mosques in Pakistan, killing at least 70 and wounding scores: "PESHAWAR, Pakistan — A suicide bomber struck a mosque frequented by anti-Taliban tribal elders in northwestern Pakistan during afternoon prayers Friday, killing at least 67 people in one of the deadliest attacks this year.

Later in the day, three grenade blasts killed three people at a mosque in another northwest area where an anti-Taliban militia was active.

The blasts were the latest to hit religious gatherings and underscored the relentless security challenge in the U.S.-allied nation, where Islamist militants have managed to strike at the state and citizens who work against them despite pressure from army offensives."
