balls. Zball had only one decended testicle at the time of his birth.
More recently, he allowed a Saudi benefactor to take out the remaining
ball from his scrotum as a precondition for a job with the Saudi's
harem of 4 wives and 13 concubines. His Taliban buddies have now
wreaked violence with vengeance on volleyball.

90 killed in Lakki Marwat bombing
* SUV loaded with 250kg of explosives detonated in middle of
volleyball match in Shah Hasan Khel village
* Nearly 300, including children and elderly, present at time of
attack
PESHAWAR: At least 90 people were killed after a suicide bomber
detonated an explosives-laden pickup truck in the middle of a
volleyball game in the village of Shah Hasan Khel, in Bannu division
of Lakki Marwat on New Year’s Day.
“It’s just a disaster. I can see flesh, bodies and wounded all
around,” Fazl-e-Akbar, a witness, told Reuters by telephone. “It’s
dark. Vehicles’ headlights are being used to search for victims.”
Local police chief Ayub Khan told Reuters the bomber blew himself up
in an SUV in the middle of the field and there was believed to be a
second vehicle, which fled the scene. Police say more than 60 people
are being treated at local hospitals. Security forces have cordoned
off the village.
High-intensity explosives: Khan said the bomber drove a vehicle loaded
with around 250 kilogrammes of high-intensity explosives onto the
field, which lies in a congested neighbourhood. Some nearby houses
collapsed and “we fear that some 10 or so people might have been
trapped in the rubble.”
Khan said that more than 20 houses, on both sides of the open ground
where the match was being played, had collapsed.
In addition, a group of local tribal elders was holding a meeting at a
nearby mosque. The mosque was damaged and some people inside were
killed, he said. “Four paramilitary soldiers are also among the dead,”
he added.
Body count: AP quoted another police official as saying some 300
people were on the field when the incident took place. A large number
of them are said to have been elderly residents and children.
Anwer Khan, 18, a student, said that he had just stepped out of his
house when he saw a black pickup speeding towards the spectators. “A
giant flame leapt towards the sky. There was bright light everywhere,
just like a flash, and then a very huge blast shook everything,” he
said.
NWFP Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain said the death toll
may rise further. “The locality has been a hub of militants. Locals
set up a lashkar and expelled the militants from this area. This
attack seems to be a reaction to their expulsion,” AP quoted the local
police chief as saying.
Reactions to the bombing rolled in swiftly on Friday night, with both
the president and the prime minister condemning the attack “in the
strongest terms”. Britain also slammed the attack as “horrific” and
vowed to work with Islamabad to tackle the threat posed by violent
extremism.
