In Pakistan, a suicide bomber struck an army barrack in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir today, killing at least three soldiers and wounding 11 more. The bomber targeted the barracks close to an army hospital at Tararkhal, over 90 km from PoK capital Muzaffarabad. There were about 35 soldiers in the facility at the time of the attack this morning. Police said the bomber detonated his explosives after guards stopped him at the gate of the barracks. Three soldiers were killed instantly and 11 more injured. The wounded were taken to the army hospital. Over 600 people have died in bombings and suicide attacks across Pakistan since October, when the army launched a major operation against the Taliban in their stronghold of South Waziristan. In recent weeks, the violence has spread to PoK, which was largely unaffected by militant attacks over the years.
