Rehman Malik: There can be more blasts expected in coming days. Baitullah Mehsud group sent some terrorists in Pakistan before EID which are expected to blasts themselves of in near future. This was among them also.

The usual BS

A suicide bomber dressed in military uniform has attacked the UN World Food Programme offices in Pakistan's capital Islamabad, killing four people.
Three of the dead are Pakistanis, the third is an Iraqi. The bomber died too.
It is unclear who is responsible but suspicion will fall on the Pakistani Taliban, correspondents say.
They promised revenge for the killing of their leader Baitullah Mehsud in a US drone strike in August and have been behind a series of recent attacks.
Last week, at least 16 people died in two suicide car bomb attacks in north-western Pakistan.
'Huge explosion'
Local television TV footage showed smoke rising from the heavily fortified UN building and shattered windows, shortly after the early afternoon blast in the buidling's reception area.
Interior Minister Rehman Malik said the bomber was dressed in a Frontier Corps uniform and asked to go inside to use the toilet.
The BBC's Orla Guerin, outside the UN compound, says sniffer dogs have been brought in and investigators are on the roof. The building is now ringed by heavily armed anti-terror police.
For Pakistan this is an unwelcome reminder that their capital remains vulnerable, our correspondent says.
It is further proof that the militants can still strike in spite of increased security precautions and ongoing army operations.
Mr Malik said the attack would not "slacken the resolve" of Pakistan's efforts to counter the Taliban.
'Terrible tragedy'
Earlier, a WFP employee, Sajjad Anwar, told local television the explosion took place within the compound, close to the main building, where there were about 100 people working at the time.
"Walls of the building have cracked because of the intensity of the blast," he said.
"I don't know how this could have happened. We have private security as well as government-provided police."
The WFP said three of its staff members had been confirmed dead and several others had been injured, with two in a critical condition.
United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon condemned the attack as a "heinous crime".
It was "a terrible tragedy for the United Nations and the humanitarian community in Pakistan", he added.
The attack came as Britain's defence and home ministers visited Islamabad for talks with Pakistani officials on the role Pakistan plays in combating terror in the UK.
A British embassy spokesman said: "I'm not prepared to say where they are staying, but it is safe to say they were not affected."

Not quite, since they had their own guards as well. They must have left their guard down. And he found a safe clearance.

Just keep on bombing them, use all the weapons, artillery, air force, bomb them with the biggest bombs available, destroy them. Inshallah talibaans will be destroyed.

It will not get any better until we clean up Wazrisitan as well as Khyber Agency.
