Pakistan bomb 'contained 6kg-8kg of explosives'

Authorities have said at least 50 people were killed and more than 100 wounded when a suicide attacker detonated a bomb packed with ball bearings and nails amid hundreds of holiday worshippers at the home of Pakistan’s former interior minister today.

Witnesses said the dead included police officers guarding Mr Sherpao, who was praying in the mosque’s front row at the time of the attack but was not injured.
