A suspected Taliban suicide bomber has struck Pakistan's intelligence agency headquarters in the north-west city of Peshawar. The blast destroyed most of the three-story ISI building, killing at least twelve people and dozens of others. The attack is the latest in a relentless onslaught in and around Peshawar. Analysts say civilians are being subjected to a deadly form of psychological warfare, that's seeking to undermine support for Islamabad's all-out offensive against the Taliban.
