All schools and universities in Pakistan have been closed following a suicide bomb attack at an Islamic institution in the capital, Islamabad.



Four people died and at least 18 were wounded in the twin blasts at the International Islamic University.



The Taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack and says there will be more violence unless the army ends its offensive in the tribal areas of South Waziristan.
