Bombing in Pakistan

At least 21 people have been killed and 27 wounded following a suicide bombing in Pakistan, near its border with Afghanistan.



Officials say the victims were security personnel gathering for a meal to end the daily fast during the Muslim month of Ramadan.



They say the suicide bomber entered the barracks of a para-military force in the town of Torkham and blew himself up.



It’s reported that the bomber was a young man between 15 and 20 years old who was bringing water to the security personnel.



It’s understood that he placed jugs of water on the ground and then detonated explosives, which were strapped to his body.
