EXCERPT: "An Islamist politician whose party [Jamaat-e-Islami] lost several members in a suicide attack blamed Pakistan's alliance with the U.S. for the violence and urged Islamabad on Tuesday to break ranks in the war on terror. The comments showed the depth of anti-Americanism in Pakistan, whose support Washington considers key to stabilizing neighboring Afghanistan. In the past three days, attacks in Pakistan have killed more than 70 people in a new wave of violence.

'It is because we have brought America's war to our own country,' Sirajul Haq, a provincial party leader, said Tuesday in Peshawar after attending funerals for some of the victims. 'Still, there is time to end this alliance with America' to avoid more bloodshed. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but that is not unusual in cases where many ordinary Pakistanis die."
