Soldiers discover half-built tunnel near US border:

Mexican troops have discovered a 122 yard (111,5 metres) long tunnel

apparently aimed at crossing the US border underground.

Army General Alberto Duarte Mujica said soldiers found

the half-built tunnel under a three-story building in the border city of Tijuana.

The army said on Sunday that soldiers raided a warehouse where equipment used to build the tunnel was stored,

and found 275 pounds (125 kilograms) of marijuana.

They also detained seven men and two women in the Saturday raid.

The wood-lined, 6-foot (1.85-meter) high, tunnel was apparently meant to

extend another 144 yards (131,6 meters) to reach US territory.

It was equipped with electrical lights and a ventilation system.

Drug and immigrant smugglers often use such tunnels.

12 killed in Peshawar suicide attack

SLAMABAD: At least a dozen people, including an anti-Taliban mayor were killed and 36 others injured when a suicide bomber struck a busy market


on the outskirts of Peshawar in northwest Pakistani on Sunday, nearly two weeks after a massive car bombing in the city left 120 dead.

Abdul Malik, a 'nazim' or mayor who was spearheading efforts against the Taliban, his nephew, a young girl and the head of a 'lashkar' or tribal militia were among the dead, officials said.

Malik's son was among the injured, they said. Police said Malik was the target of the suicide attack at the cattle market in Mattani, a suburb of Peshawar.

Malik, who survived at least five previous attempts on his life, was once considered to be close to the Taliban but later turned against the militants.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack. A man named Omar, who claimed to be the Taliban spokesman in the area, told the media that Malik was targeted because he had formed a lashkar to take on the militants.

The bomber struck shortly after 9.30am, when the market was packed with people shopping for sacrificial animals ahead of the Eid-ud-Zuha festival.

The injured were taken to hospital in private cars and ambulances.

Police cordoned off the market and collected the bomber's body parts while bomb disposal experts scoured the site for clues.
