Suicide bomber
rips apart my city
The rain of sadness dropped in Peshawar last
week when a suicide bomber struck a busy market
across town from where I live. Twenty seven
people were killed in the carnage and many more
seriously injured at the scene, where body parts
were scattered in a business hub of Peshawar, a
city in the northwest part of Pakistan, near the
border with Afghanistan.

Police seek shelter 'mom' in baby's death
 
Ana Lara said recently she sees herself as “a
single mother” to the 24 children from troubled
backgrounds who lived with her in a shelter she
started because she wanted to help them avoid
the abuse she experienced growing up on the
streets.
Some of
the older children said this month they chose to
live in Lara’s small, average-looking home to
escape bad situations in their own families.
Now, though, Lara is sought by
police after a 7-month-old baby died under
mysterious circumstances in her shelter.
Neighbors told police that Lara fled in a van
with the other children.--
