WorldAt least seven people were killed when multiple Taliban suicide bombers attacked a court complex in northern Pakistan Tuesday, the latest in a series of assaults which have raised fears militants are regrouping. Earlier this month the group vowed a fresh offensive on targets in Pakistan including the judiciary. Among last week's assaults was a bomb blast targeting a van carrying judges in Peshawar, which killed their driver. Police and troops had been on high alert in Pakistan after last week's wave of attacks, which killed more than 100 people. Most, including the Lahore bomb, were claimed by JuA, a faction of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP, or Pakistani Taliban) group.
