Suicide blasts kill 57 at Pakistan arms factory

Two suicide bombers blew themselves up outside Pakistan's main military arms factory Thursday, killing 57 people and piling new pressure on the shaky coalition government to tackle militancy.

The attackers struck almost simultaneously as a crowd of workers was streaming out of the huge factory complex in the northern town of Wah, near Islamabad. It is one of the country's most sensitive installations.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, the second to rock Pakistan since Pervez Musharraf resigned as president on Monday, and warned of further blasts if army operations near the Afghan border are not stopped.

Looks like things are starting to get crazy over there. I'm concerned about this blowing up into a bad situation quickly.

What are ya'lls thoughts on this?

If Muslim's hate non-Muslim's and whish them all death, like the media want you to beleive, why would 'Islamic extreamists' blow up other Muslim's? It doesn't make sence.
I have high doubts about all these Al-Qaeda bombings that just spring up out of no where around the world.

I think they blow up other Muslims because there so extreme that they can't compromise their views to get along with people. These tribes have been fighting each other for ages... That being said, Pakistan is a volatile area and everyone probably has people in the area right now...
