Violence follows Musharraf's exit
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's ruling coalition met yesterday to discuss a replacement for President Pervez Musharraf, as the deaths of 45 people in Islamist violence underscored the challenges facing the government. Key US ally Musharraf resigned after nine years in power on Monday amid coalition threats to impeach him, throwing the onus on the alliance which won elections in February to tackle extremism and a nosediving economy. A suicide bomber killed 27 people at a hospital in a northwestern town yesterday in t
he first attack since Musharraf stepped down, while five soldiers and 13 Taleban died in clashes in a tribal area bordering Afghanistan.

2. And this is barely even covered in the news today.
This is scary crap. And most people don't have a clue about it. A few more than that know of Russia's response over Poland having US missile silos there.
