On a Monday morning in Peshawar, the ancient gateway city of Pakistan's northwest, two men carrying explosives walked toward a security headquarters where officers had gathered for routine drills. One reached the gate; the other did not. Three officers died, five were wounded, and the attack joined a lengthening chain of violence that speaks to a deeper struggle — between a state and a militant movement, between two neighboring nations, and between the fragile architecture of ceasefire and the persistent grammar of war.
