Hangu, N.W.F. Pakistan-- December 8, 2010
In the Northwest Frontier Provice's Hangu district, suspected militants kidnapped eight male school teachers who were on their way to class Wednesday, police said.
Police were able to rescue five of the teachers later, but three others remained missing after an exchange of fire with police, said Islam Khan, a police official in the district.
The suicide attack drew swift condemnation from the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad.
"By attacking a market place where innocent men, women, and children were gathered, those responsible for this blast -- and the two other major bombings this week -- demonstrated inhuman disregard for human life."
The Taliban claimed responsibility Monday for two explosions targeting a government building in Pakistan's tribal region.
