Female Bomber kills 43 at food center in Pakistan

A female suicide bomber detonated her explosives-laden vest killing at least 43 people at an aid distribution center in northwestern Pakistan on Saturday, while army helicopter gunships and artillery killed a similar number of Islamic militants in neighboring tribal regions near the Afghan border.

Police asked for her identity, but she ran toward the center and lobbed hand grenades at the police," Mr. Khan said. "She exploded herself when she reached the crowd" of about 300.

"I realized a little later that I myself have suffered wounds," he said. "Everybody was crying. It was blood and human flesh everywhere."

Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani condemned the bombing and said Pakistanis are "united against them."
