A suicide bomber struck a deadly anti-militant rally in Pakistan’s Swat Valley, killing at least 14—including police—and wounding many more, as protesters voiced outrage over the government’s inaction against resurgent militants. Once cleared of Taliban control, the valley is now feared to be slipping back into militant hands. The attack, likely carried out by the Pakistani Taliban—a group allied with but separate from Afghanistan’s Taliban—has drawn swift condemnation from top Pakistani leaders, who vowed to crush terrorism. With thousands of militant attacks reported this year, most linked to Afghan-based fighters, Pakistan insists it will keep dismantling terror networks despite ongoing regional tensions.
