US Consulate hit in Pakistan
At least two persons were killed.
Interesting to watch the CNN spin 'US Consulate targeted in Pakistan'! When three people are killed is it still 'targeted'?

From BBC
Attack on US consulate in Peshawar, Pakistan
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8603288.stm
<snip>
At least three people have died after suspected militants attacked the US consulate in the north-western Pakistani city of Peshawar.

There were several explosions in the area near the consulate and buildings collapsed. A gun battle between police and the attackers followed.

Pakistan's main Taliban faction said it carried out the attack, and that the US consulate was the target.

Officials said the attack was well organised but order had been restored.

US officials also confirmed the consulate was the target of the attack, but it is unclear whether the building suffered any damage.

1. Blowback from all those drone attacks
First stop the U.S. consulate, next stop the US. Look for more of the same from Pakistan so long as the US does more of the same in Pakistan.
