Pakistan army pushed 'beyond capacity'

Another suicide blast in Pakistan's Northwestern Frontier has highlighted the country's severe instability as it continues to deal with terrorism and relief efforts because of the vast and devastating floods. In the latest incident - the third in Pakistan in the past week - a suspected bomber is said to have rammed a car into a police station in Lakki Marwat. Nearly 100 people have died in the past week, including those killed in earlier attacks in Lahore and Quetta. The Pakistani Taliban have claimed responsibility for the first two attacks. They, or other sectarian groups, may be taking advantage of the critical situation facing Pakistan's civilian administration and its security forces. But they may also be exploiting a lack of cooperation between the army and the government.
