Tourists Killed in North Pakistan Mountain Camp

[James]

Gunmen have killed 10 people, including at least nine foreign tourists, after storming a hotel in northern Pakistan.

The nationalities of the victims have not been fully confirmed, although they include a number of Ukrainians and Chinese. One Pakistani also died.

The assault happened at the base camp of Nanga Parbat, the world's ninth highest mountain, in Gilgit-Baltistan.

It is the first such attack on tourists in the region. The Pakistani Taliban has told the BBC it was responsible.

A spokesman for Tehrik-e-Taliban said the attack was in retaliation for the killing of its second-in-command, Waliur Rehman, who died in a suspected US drone strike in May.

The group said it would continue to target foreigners.

i don't really have much to say about this, either than what this group is doing isn't going to help anything. it's just ruining things for everyone they're trying to "save");
thoughts? opinions?

"Our second-in-command, responsible for organizing and committing murder, has been killed. Let's target innocent civilians"!

Stupid people, stupid idea, stupid actions. People will never take these groups seriously as they're all just a bunch of mindless thugs who ain't got an ounce of dignity or respect in them.
