No fewer than 16 persons have been killed on during muslims prayers at a mosque in northwestern Pakistani tribal area, following a suicide bomb attack.
This incident also left 35 persons wounded.
The bombing took place in the village of Butmana in the Mohmand tribal district bordering Afghanistan where the army has been fighting against Taliban militants.
“The Friday prayer was in progress at the mosque when a suicide bomber blew himself up killing at least 16 worshippers and wounding 35 others,” a senior tribal administration official told AFP.
“The area is remote and so far I have received only this information from our sources via wireless,” he said.
