Pakistan Taliban use husband, wife suicide bombers

DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) -- The Pakistani Taliban said Sunday the group had sent a husband and wife suicide squad to carry out an attack on a police station in northwestern Pakistan that killed 10 people, a rare instance of militants using a woman as a bomber.

The pair entered the police station in Kolachi on Saturday and said they were there to lodge a complaint, said Imtiaz Shah, a senior police official. Once inside, the two attacked with grenades and machine guns, triggering a five-hour standoff with police.

Both attackers, including the woman wearing an all-covering robe known as a burqa, eventually blew themselves up. They killed eight police officers and two civilians, said Mohammad Hussain, another police official.

"This shows how much we hate Pakistani security institutions," Pakistani Taliban spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan told The Associated Press by telephone from an undisclosed location.

1. Proving once again that very stupid people are attracted one to another.

2. I realize the men are supposed to get
72 virgins after the massacre, but what is in store for the wife? 72 hunks?

3. Peace and quiet.
From the husband who thinks he needs 72 nubile, lithe virgins to be satisfied when Viagra once a month would probably be more than sufficient to allow him to stop complaining about how inadequate his wife is.
