At least 110 people were killed Thursday near a
motorcade carrying former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.
The two explosions that happened early in the day not
only killed 110 people but also injured about 200. Bhutto and those
with her were not injured. Bhutto was returning after a self-imposed eight year exile.
Police are inspecting a body that they believe to be
the suicide bomber. Police officials said that the truck that Bhutto was
riding in was surrounded by police cars, therefore the bomber couldn't get
any closer.

HEALTH AWARENESS
Underlying
issues surface through insomnia Insomnia
is more than sleepless nights and long, tiresome days. Evidence shows
insomnia can not only be prevented, it could be a telltale sign of an
underlying problem. That’s why researchers recommend taking action,
especially for women, when signs of insomnia begin.
Sleep deprivation in
women is one factor that makes women twice as likely as men to suffer
from depression at some point in their lives. Another underlying problem
that can cause insomnia is obstructive sleep apnea. This condition
occurs when breathing stops momentarily during sleep. The airways are
blocked by relaxed throat muscles.
But women, be wary. Doctors are
likely to misdiagnose these symptoms as depression, normally prescribing
antidepressants that are very unlikely to improve sleeping patterns and
do not help cure sleep apnea. There is hope though. Since insomnia is
likely caused by an underlying problem, in some cases, stress, letting
go of that stress may be all it takes to get back to a peaceful night of
sleep.
