LAND FULL of VIOLENCE:Suicide blast kills 6 at Pakistan navy college

LAHORE-A suicide bomber killed at least six people and wounded 19 in an attack on Tuesday on a Pakistan naval college in the eastern city of Lahore,officials said.Interior Ministry spokesman Javed Iqbal Cheema told a news conference that a mini-bus entered the college when a suicide bomber following closely behind blew up his vehicle.The bomber killed himself and four others in the initial attack, navy officials said, but two more people died in secondary explosions that followed."I saw a fully charred body," a Reuters photographer at the scene said. "A black cloud of smoke was rising from the scene as I reached there."It was the fourth suicide attack in Pakistan in five days, further unsettling a country already reeling from a bomb campaign waged by Islamist militants linked to al Qaeda and the Taliban.Over 500 people have been killed in related violence since the start of the year, stoking fears over the deteriorating security situation in the nuclear-armed state.Tackling the violence will provide a tough test for the incoming government following elections two weeks ago which saw no clear winner emerge, leading to coalition talks between various parties mostly hostile to President Pervez Musharraf.Television pictures showed damaged vehicles near the bent and buckled gates of the college. Emergency vehicles were seen rushing in and out of the premises. To read more go to:
