By george · Friday, March 27th, 2009

A bomb apparently detonated by one of approximately 250 worshippers at a Bigiari mosque Friday has killed dozens of people and wounded more than 100.

The force of the blast caused the building to collapse.  Rescuers are still finding their way through the rubble for injured survivors.

The International Herald Tribune said that the blast occured amid news that Taliban leaders now in Pakistan were coordinating efforts with those in Afghanistan to counter increased U.S. military presence in the country.
