A day after the final assault, a suicide bomber on foot blew himself up after forcing his way into the government headquarters in the North Waziristan region near the Afghan border, killing two government officials, according to two intelligence officials. Three police officers in another area of the frontier were killed by a suicide car bomber.
There was no claim of responsibility for the blasts, or whether they were carried out to revenge the mosque siege. But an army spokesman said the Lal Masjid reportedly had links to militants active in lawless tribal regions near the Afghan border.
