We perform a combined analysis of $B \to \pi \pi$ and $B \to \pi K$ decayswith the current experimental data. Assuming SU(3) flavor symmetry and no newphysics contributions to the topological amplitudes, we demonstrate that theconventional parametrization in the Standard Model (SM) does not describe thedata very well, in contrast with a similar analysis based on the earlier data.It is also shown that the introduction of smaller amplitudes and reasonableSU(3) breaking parameters does not improve the fits much. Interpreting thesepuzzling behaviors in the SM as a new physics (NP) signal, we study various NPscenarios. We find that when a single NP amplitude dominates, the NP in theelectroweak penguin sector is the most favorable. However, other NP solutions,such as NP residing in the QCD-penguin sector and color-suppressed electroweakpenguin sector simultaneously, can also solve the puzzle.Comment: 17 pages; Added references, Corrected typo
