20 die in Taleban car-bomb attack

The Taleban detonated a car bomb in Pakistan's third-largest city of Faisalabad yesterday, killing 20 people and wounding more than 100 in an attack they said targeted the offices of the country's intelligence agency.

A Taleban spokesman said the target was the Inter-Services Intelligence, a powerful agency that plays a major role in Pakistan's fight against Islamist militants.
