Bomb at Islamist party rally in Pakistan kills 14

PARACHINAR, Pakistan (AP) A Pakistani official says a bomb blast has killed at least 14 people at an election campaign rally of a pro-Taliban party in the country's northwest. <br /> <br /> Javed Khan, a government administrator in the Kurram tribal region where the bombing took place, says Monday's attack also wounded 50 people. <br /> <br /> He says the bomb was apparently planted near the main stage of the rally. <br /> <br /> Khan says two party leaders escaped unhurt. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the blast. <br /> <br /> The Jamiat-e-Ulema Islam party is considered supportive of the Afghan Taliban's fight against the United States and its allies. It's also sympathetic to the Pakistani Taliban. <br /> <br /> The Taliban have in recent weeks attacked secular Pakistani parties. Elections are to be held on May 11.
