Pakistan Violence 8-21-08

Can anyone recall a suicide bombing that took place in a weapons factory?

This bombing seems like a new tactic i.e. inside a weapons factory.

In addition, Pakistan appears to be in trouble with its temporary coalition government about to collapse. This is not good. We don't want nuclear armed Pakistan degenerating into a chaotic state.

Recall that Pakistan is often referred to as the world's most potentially dangerous country. It is exactly because it is nuclear armed and holds a faction that is very extremist in ideology.

Breitbart.com: Suicide bombing at Pakistan arms factory kills 50
Twin suicide bombings at a massive weapons factory near Pakistan's capital killed at least 50 people Thursday, dashing hopes for an end to turmoil following Pervez Musharraf's ouster as president.

The ruling coalition government, made up of traditional rivals who were united primarily in their determination to force Musharraf from office, meanwhile appeared veering toward collapse.

The two main parties have been unable to bridge key differences, like whether judges fired by the one-time military ruler should be quickly reinstated and who should succeed him as president.
