by D. Cupples | While many media focus on the Off-Track-Betting-style race for the Democratic presidential nomination, things are happening in the world that may relate to problems that our next president will likely have to tackle. The New York Times reports:
"A top Pakistani Army general was killed Monday when a suicide attacker approached his car at a traffic light in Rawalpindi and blew himself up, military officials said."
"In a separate development, three Pakistani workers were killed when bombs exploded at the office of Plan International, a British aid agency, in Mansehra in the North-West Frontier Province, according to Pakistani officials.
"In addition to killing the surgeon general, Lt. Gen. Mushtaq Ahmad Baig, the attack on his staff car claimed the lives of eight other people, including the attacker and five civilians." (New York Times)
