"A series of explosions in northwest Pakistan killed eight people Thursday night, and two suspected militants died in a gunbattle with Peshawar police on a rooftop, authorities said. Peshawar is the capital of North West Frontier Province, an area where the military has launched a massive operation against Taliban militants. The carnage began early in the evening when timed explosive devices on two parked motorcycles exploded back-to-back, killing five people at two crowded, adjacent bazaars, said Shafqat Malik, Peshawar bomb disposal squad chief. He told a local TV station each device weighed about 3 kilograms (7 pounds)." CNN reports: http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/05/28/pakistan.peshawar.blast/index.html#cnnSTCText
