Mid of troops patrolling the street of Lahore STORYLINE: Pakistan's president said Sunday that crucial parliamentary elections would go ahead Monday as planned despite a massive suicide car bombing at a campaign rally that killed up to 46 people - many of them supporters of slain opposition leader Benazir Bhutto. The army imposed a curfew in the northwestern tribal area town of Parachinar, where the bomber struck Saturday evening at the end of a rally for an independent candidate Syed Riaz Hussain, endorsed by the Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party. Funerals would be held for many of the victims Sunday, officials said, and the army agreed to relax its curfew in some areas so family members could attend. Early Sunday, the wreckage of four cars flipped over by the force of the blast littered the street near the site. Most shops were shuttered and streets were largely deserted. More than 200 relatives of the dead blocked the main road with stones and milled around in the streets. Dozens of heavily armed army and paramilitary troops set up barricades at two roads into Parachinar, just over a mountain from the Afghan area of Tora Bora. A string of deadly suicide bombings - including the December 27 assassination of Bhutto, a two-time former prime minister - have left hundreds dead and discouraged many candidates from holding large rallies. Voters too say they may stay at home on election day. Two civilian passers-by were killed and eight security personnel wounded, two of them seriously, said an army spokesman.
