Election year leads to war in Pakistan. Taliban attacks on election candidates in northwestern Pakistan killed at least eight people and wounded dozens. They have planted bombs outside Tribal offices. The Taliban Pakistan militia has been planting attacks on people in connection with the Pakistan elections with about fifty people killed since April to effect the results. Similar actions has taken place before with the 2008 election when the opposition leader, Benazir Bhutto, was assassinated weeks before the election. Every election season, Pakistan police officers have to provide security to tribal candidates.
