Pakistan suicide bomber kills over 80 at volleyball match
By BBC
At least 88 people have been killed by a suicide bomb attack at a volleyball court in the troubled north-west of Pakistan, local police say.
Police chief Ayub Khan said the bomber drove towards a field where people were watching a match, before detonating a load of high-intensity explosives.
The attack happened near Lakki Marwat, close to North and South Waziristan.
The Pakistani army has been conducting a campaign against the Taliban in the tribal areas since October.
The number of people killed in militant attacks in Pakistan is fast approaching 600 in just three months.
Militants have attacked both “hard” targets, including army or intelligence offices, and “soft” ones such as markets or the crowd that was hit in Friday’s bombing.
