13 Killed In Attack On a Bus In Pakistan.

Using jet fighters and helicopter gunships, the government unleashed a more aggressive assault against the Taliban in Pakistan's tribal region this week, risking retaliation from the militants and the wrath of thousands of civilians who have been forced to flee their homes. The Taliban response was immediate and costly. A minibus carrying 18 members of the Pakistani Air Force was destroyed by a bomb on a major road in Peshawar on Tuesday morning, killing at least 13 people. The Taliban said the attack was in retaliation for the airstrikes on Monday. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
