Who Killed Me And Why, by Muhammad Khurshid, we talk about the painful death of an 11 year old who asked this question as he lay in the hospital after falling victim to a suicide bombing. Khurshid is in the Bajour Agency region, at Pakistans border with Afghanistan. Drone attacks are frequent and suicide attacks are occurring with more and more regularity. Calls for mothers to tell their children not to engage in violence, calls for peace and for talks between Pakistani civilians, tribal leaders, and people of the world.
