Taliban Teen Kills 27 in Pakistan In one of Pakistan's worst suicide bomb attacks in recent times, a teenager blew himself up at an army training camp Friday, killing 27 troops and wounding 40. Army and government officials confirm that the attacker was a teenage boy in a school uniform. The Taliban claims, however, that he was a soldier who "wanted to sacrifice his life for Islam," reports the AP. "We accepted his offer and told him to target his fellow soldiers in Mardan," said a Taliban spokesman via telephone. The incident, which occurred during early morning exercises at a base in the northwest, shows that years of hammering away at Taliban hideouts in Pakistan has failed to unseat militants. In 2006, a suicide bomber attacked the same training camp, killing 35 soldiers.
