CHARSADDA, Pakistan (Reuters) - Pakistani Taliban suicide bombers killed at least 80 people at a paramilitary force academy in the northwest on Friday, and vowed further bloodshed in retaliation for the death of Osama bin Laden in a U.S. raid in the country.
The first major bombing in Pakistan since bin Laden's death on May 2, it will reinforce the common view that his elimination will not ease violence because al Qaeda is not centralised and will keep inspiring groups, like the Pakistani Taliban, which are scattered globally and loosely bound by ideology.
