GARAPHIC PHOTOS; Suicide Explosion Hits Government Office In Pakistan, Kills At Least 26

A suspected suicide attack at a government office in north-west Pakistan has killed at least 26 people, police say. The bomb went off outside the National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) office in the town of Mardan.

A faction of the Pakistani Taliban said it carried out the attack, which left more than 45 others wounded. The attack is one of the deadliest since last December's massacre of 150 pupils and teachers in Peshawar. The bomber in Mardan reportedly arrived on a motorbike and blew himself up when stopped by a security guard outside the Nadra building.
