A Taliban splinter has taken credit for this attack. This attack has happened on the Pakistani border. This attack had been targeted for the Pakistani security forces were. They believe that there are going to be many more attacks and are waiting for more. This attacked had happened when security was quite relaxed and near a restaurant. India and Pakistan have fought three wars and they are still in a conflict over the region of Kashmir. India has been accusing Pakistan of sponsoring jihadists groups in the region and encouraging them to make inroads into Indian territory to stage attacks against Indian forces.

Morgan,
I found this article to be very factual. I liked how you not only included the present but the past as well. It was interesting to hear the history of conflict between these two countries. Although there were many facts I did not get your clear perspective. Why did you choose this topic?
When comparing this bombing and bombings of the like in so many other countries, it is hard to see where it lies when compared to something of similar traits. One example being the Boston marathon. It is interesting that we never hear about these bombings on television, but when the bombings happened in Boston, internationally, it was virtually everywhere. Hearing of this suicide bombing for the first time just makes me wonder about international priorities. Overall, this article got me thinking and I enjoyed it very much.
