Sloth Fever: A Growing Concern in the United States

KHAR: Senior Pakistani officials on Sunday confirmed that a deadly bombing in the lawless tribal belt was carried out by a burqa-clad woman, in the country’s first known case of a female suicide attack.

The suicide blast on Saturday, claimed by the local Taliban, hit a United Nations’ food distribution point and killed 45 people in Khar, the main town in the restive Bajaur tribal region bordering Afghanistan.

“We have found hair and hand and feet body parts painted with henna at the site of the attack, which leaves no doubt that the bomber was a woman,” top local administration official Zakir Hussain Afridi told AFP.
