    Suicide car bomber attacks Shiite Muslims in Quetta, Pakistan

    The AP reports from QUETTA, Pakistan:

     A suicide car bomber attacked Shiite Muslims in southwestern Pakistan on Wednesday as they were heading home after morning prayers at the start of an Islamic holiday. The blast killed 10 people, officials said.

    The attack occurred in Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the bombing, but Baluchistan is believed to be home to many Taliban militants who have targeted Shiites in the past. Extremist Sunni Muslim groups like the Taliban view Shiites as heretics. Continue reading.

    I think that the captured London subway bomber said it best: "[Muslims] will win because we love death more than you love life." Suicide bombs are only a symptom of that uniquely Islamic perspective.

    Chief suspect helps police reenact deadly cafe bombing in Morocco

    Reuters

    The chief suspect in last month's bombing of Cafe Argana, Adel al-Othmani (C, wearing hat and sunglasses), takes part in questioning by special forces and a reconstruction of the attack in Marrakesh on Tuesday, May 11. The blasts killed 16 people, including eight French tourists, and was the deadliest such attack in Morocco since 12 suicide bombers killed 33 members of the public in coordinated attacks in Casablanca in 2003.

    The Associated Press reports:

    MARRAKECH, Morocco — Police say the main suspect in the deadly remote-controlled bombing of a Marrakech cafe last month has helped them investigate the crime by showing how it was carried out.

    Police say the suspect in the April 28 attack that killed 17 people showed them the path he took from the city's train station to the Argana cafe overlooking Djemaa el-Fna, the city's historic square. The cafe was renowned as a gathering place for tourists.
