Pakistani Taliban attacks Christian neighborhood and courthouse, killing 13

“At least 12 people were killed and 54 wounded when a suicide bomber blew himself up Friday just outside a district court in Pakistan’s northwest province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, police said. They said the lone attacker threw a grenade at the entrance and then detonated his vest after an officer at the gate called him aside to be searched. The terrorist attack occurred just hours after four would-be suicide bombers entered a community of minority Christians near Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, killing one civilian and shooting and wounding a security guard and three other security officers in an exchange of gunfire.”
