Reuters – Pakistani security officials and rescue workers survey the site of a bomb blast in Islamabad October …

"ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – A suicide bomber dressed as a paramilitary soldier attacked an office of the U.N. World Food Programme (WFP) in the Pakistani capital on Monday, killing five staff members, government and U.N. officials said.
Pakistan is battling al Qaeda-linked Islamist militants who have set off numerous bombs in towns and cities aimed at security forces and government and foreign targets.
"I went to my office on the first floor and as I sat on my chair there was a huge blast," WFP official Arshad Jadoon told Reuters outside the tightly guarded office in a residential area of Islamabad.
"All of a sudden, a smoke cloud enveloped the building and we came out where wounded people were lying," he said.
A WFP spokesman, Amjad Jamal, said five members of staff had been killed, four Pakistanis and an Iraqi. At least two of the Pakistanis were women."  Reuters via Yahoo (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20091005/ts_nm/us_pakistan_violence_7)
