To go with feature 'Pakistan-unrest-amputees' by Khurram Shahzad
Disabled Pakistani journalist, Anser Abbas who lost both his arms in a suicide attack, sits in his home in Rawalpindi on January 14, 2010 Abbas lost both he arms in a suicide bombing that killed 20 of his relatives at a hospital in northwest town Dera Ismail Khan on August 19, 2008. Although the government does not keep statistics, doctors estimate thousands of people have lost limbs in a wave of attacks and suicide bombings blamed mostly on the Taliban that have swept the country since July 2007. The attacks have killed around 3,000 people. Civilians have also been caught in crossfire since Pakistan joined the US-led "war on terror" in 2002 and launched offensives against Islamist strongholds in the northwest. AFP PHOTO/ AAMIR QURESHI
