Peshwar Pakistan

More than 40 people have been killed and scores wounded after a bomb exploded near a market in Pakistan's northwest city of Peshawar.


This city has been a center of radical Islamic groups for decades.  I remember a fax (yes...that far back) that came to the US Embassy in Cairo addressing the government of Hosni Mubarak which I read in translation. 
 
"You dogs at the ministry of Interior," I remember the phrase translated sounded funny, "the long arm of Allah will reach you in your beds while you sleep..." or something along that vein.
