    SUICIDE CAR BOMBING KILLS 41 IN PAKISTAN

    A suicide car bombing targeting Pakistani troops killed 41 people
    Monday, the fourth grisly militant attack in just over a week, as
    the Taliban pledged to mobilize fighters across the country for more
    strikes, foreign media reported.

    The Taliban also claimed responsibility for the 22-hour weekend attack
    on the nation's heavily fortified army headquarters, saying a cell
    from Pakistan's most populous province carried out the raid.

    The claim that a Punjabi faction of the Pakistani Taliban was behind
    that strike is a sign the insurgents have forged links with militants
    outside their main strongholds in Pashtun areas close to the Afghan
    border, increasing their potency.

    The army, however, maintained it was launched from South Waziristan
    - where the military is preparing for what will likely be a long
    and bloody offensive against the major base of the Taliban along
    the frontier.
