A massive truck bomb ripped through a luxury hotel Tuesday killing eleven people and wounding 52 in Pakistan's Peshawar city, capital of a northwest province plagued by Taliban violence. The bomb was hidden in a delivery truck, police and officials said, and was driven up to the five-star Pearl Continental hotel in the high-security Khyber Road area of Peshawar and detonated outside, causing massive devastation. It is the seventh deadly bombing to hit the troubled city in a month, as fears grow that Taliban militants are exacting revenge for a punishing six-week military offensive against them in three northwest districts.  « Less
