A Taliban suicide bomber earlier crashed his explosives-laden truck into a police station in Bannu, also in northwestern Pakistan, killing six people and wounding 30, police said.

I think you mean "lily-livered" ... "From the medieval belief that the liver was the seat of courage, and the pale color of the lily flower."

But he was a community organizer. That should make you feel safer.

Eyes open and keep your powder dry.

A reference to king Richard The Lion Hearted with a twist was my intention. Either way we know Obama is a puss.

Police: 2nd bomb goes off in Pakistan’s northwest

Police say a car bomb has detonated in a commercial district in Pakistan’s main northwestern city, killing four people and wounding dozens of others.
It was the second suicide car bombing to hit the restive region on Saturday. The Taliban has claimed responsibility for the first attack.

Police official Shaukat Khan says an attacker detonated the second bomb outside a bank affiliated with the army in Peshawar, the capital of North West Frontier Province. He says four have been killed and dozens hurt

Another suicide blast hit the province’s Bannu district earlier Saturday, killing at least six people and wounding nearly 70 others.
