It is no wonder that training and marketing suicide bombers has become a major capitalistic venture in FATA. It has been reported that when a young child is ready, his trainers send out a message that they have a suicide bomber to trade. The local warlords, mullahs included, then bid on this prized weapon: the highest bidder wins the suicide bomber and then deploys it.

Suicide attackers stormed a mosque close to Pakistan's army headquarters, killing 35 people during Friday prayers as they sprayed gunfire at worshippers and threw grenades before blowing themselves up, officials said.
The strike was part of a wave of bloodshed that has killed more than 400 people in Pakistan since October. It was a bloody reminder of the resilience of militant networks despite army offensives against the Taliban in the northwestern regions bordering Afghanistan.
At least four attackers took part in the attack an inside a heavily fortified area in the garrison city of Rawalpindi just a few miles from the capital.
Witnesses said two of the militants entered the mosque, which was popular with army officers, while others ran into buildings nearby. With reporters prevented from getting close, security forces exchanged fire with the assailants for an hour before they blew themselves up or killing them.

Their deaths mean that 100 servicemen have now died in Afghanistan since 2001. The three men were on foot in Helmand province when they were struck by a suicide attack.
The Defense secretary Des Browne gave a tribute to the courage of the men who laid their lives on the line. "They gave their lives securing freedom and stability, not just for the people of Afghanistan but, as the tragic events of 9/11 showed, for all of us. We will never forget them."
Sir Jock, a member of Chief of the Defence Staff, said: "Every one of those deaths is a tragedy. Nothing can ever compensate for the loss felt by their loved ones and to them all I extend my deepest sympathies.
"I only hope that the terrible hardship that they have been asked to bear can be eased by the certainty that in Afghanistan our forces are engaged in a most worthy and noble endeavour."
