Bombs targeting election offices kill 3 in Pakistan May 10, 2013 - 12:54 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Pakistani intelligence officials say two bombs targeting the offices of candidates running in this weekend’s election have killed three people in northwest Pakistan, The Associated Press reported. The officials say 15 people also were wounded in the blasts Friday, May 10, in Miran Shah, the main town in Pakistan’s North Waziristan tribal area. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.

It was unclear exactly which candidates were targeted in the latest attack since several have offices in the block where the explosions occurred. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, but suspicion will likely fall on the Pakistani Taliban.
