ISLAMABAD -- At least 35 people were killed yesterday in a bombing near Pakistan's military headquarters in Rawalpindi, with army personnel among the victims.The suicide blast by Islamic extremists at a small shopping center seemed aimed at a line of people who were waiting to withdraw their salaries from a bank branch on the ground floor. Soldiers were in the line.
A wave of terrorist attacks has hit Pakistan, apparently in retaliation for the launch last month of a military offensive in the South Waziristan region, in the tribal area along the Afghan border. The region is the base of the country's Taliban movement, which is behind most of the bloodshed, and is thought to be controlled by al-Qaida.
