Pakistan Taliban take responsibility for bombings (Reuters)

Murad Khan, son of Ghulam Shabir, a fisherman affected by the floods, stands in front of his family tent on the eastern banks of the Indus River, located in the district of Bhakkar, in Pakistan's Punjab province September 2, 2010. A month ago, Pakistan's Indus river swelled and burst its banks, swallowing up Shabir's village of 20 mud-brick homes and sending the 200 people living there fleeing for higher ground. Today, Shabir is furious: he says it has been 10 days since the river retreated from the land but no one from the army or the Pakistani government has come to help him.
