Two suicide bombers have blown themselves up at a mosque in north-western Pakistan, killing 30 people and injuring scores of others, police and medics said.

“At least 30 bodies and more than 60 injured people were brought to Lady Reading Hospital, the biggest health facility in the city.

Rescuers, police and volunteers were searching the rubble for further victims, said rescue services official, Bilal Faizi. (dpa/NAN)
