Around 65 military recruits and 15 civilians were killed in the twin bombing of the the Frontier Constabulary military training centre in Shabqadar, Charsadda – the first attack in Pakistan since the announcement of Osama bin Laden’s death. The Pakistani Taliban claims to have carried out the attack to avenge bin Laden’s killing.

Police  say both blasts were caused by suicide attacks.

Says the BBC:

“The security forces have often been the target of such attacks as they fight the Pakistani Taliban across the north-west of the country, but Friday’s bombing is the deadliest attack this year.

…
Later on Friday, army chiefs are expected to appear in parliament to explain their actions over the death of Bin Laden.”
