Peshawar blast kills 13
Three suicide attackers, including a woman, attacked a police station in northwestern Pakistan, killing 13 people on Friday while army airstrikes killed a dozen suspected militants in a Taliban stronghold ahead of an expected ground offensive. The bombing in Peshawar city was the latest in a surge of terrorist attacks over the last 11 days that has killed more than 150 people and underscored the power of the Taliban.
