Bombings kill 17 at Pakistani security installations

The suicide truck bomb blast at the Inter-Services Intelligence complex that killed 10 people early this morning was the second militant strike on the country's premier spy agency this year. In May, a van packed with explosives razed the intelligence agency's provincial headquarters and a police building in the eastern city of Lahore, killing more than two dozen people.

The truck bomb blast in Peshawar, which also injured more than 60 people, was followed by a suicide car bomb attack an hour later at a police station in the village of Bakkakhel, about 75 miles southwest of Peshawar. That blast killed seven people and wounded 27.

The attacks in Peshawar and Bakkakhel were the latest in a long line of strikes on security compounds and facilities across Pakistan in recent weeks, as the government moved ahead with its plan to send 30,000 troops into South Waziristan to uproot Taliban and Al Qaeda militant strongholds there.
