Eleven people have been killed in two separate militant attacks in north-western Pakistan.

Two car bombs killed at least 12 people and wounded dozens in separate attacks in north-west Pakistan today, just days after the Taliban warned more suicide strikes were coming if the military pressed forward with an army offensive.

GUNFIRE and rioting erupted yesterday as more than 70,000 people joined Pakistan’s biggest protest yet against Mohammed cartoons, burning cinemas, a KFC restaurant and a South Korean-run bus station.
