At least 50 people have been killed and up to 100 others injured in a bomb
blast at a Sunni mosque in northwest Pakistan during Friday prayers, officials
have said.
There are fears the death toll from the explosion could rise further. The
attack was claimed by the Tarik-e-Taliban group.
"There were more than 100 people inside the mosque. The roof of its main hall
collapsed after the blast. Several people are buried under the debris," a local
official told the AFP news agency.
"There are blood and body parts everywhere. Elderly people and children are
among the dead and wounded. I have not seen such a tragic scene in my whole
life,'' Zafar Khan, a villager, was quoted by the AP news agency as saying.

The bomb exploded in Darra Adam Khel, an area near Pakistan's tribal regions,
where fighter groups have been active.
Kamal Hyder, Al Jazeera's correspondent in the capital, Islamabad, said the
area has seen trouble between the Pakistani Taliban and pro-government tribal
groups.
He added those wounded in the blast are being taken to the main northwest city
Peshawar for treatment.
Haji Razaq Khan, a member of Pakistan's Senate from Darra Adam Khel, was cited
by AP as saying a tribal elder who had been encouraging people to stand against
the Taliban had a guest room next to the mosque and may have been the target.
It was not clear whether that elder, Malik Wali Khan, was among the victims.
However Khalid Umarzai, a regional administration chief, suggested the attack
could have been in retaliation for military operations in the area targeting
fighters.
In October, a bomb attack at a Sunni mosque on the outskirts of Peshawar killed
three people and wounded 22. It also occurred during Friday prayers.
