Minibus blast in Pakistan kills 10

    A roadside bomb has killed at least 10 people on a minibus in north-west Pakistan.

    It is believed that at least two children were among the dead.

    The blast took place in the Kurram tribal district on the border with Afghanistan.

    Several others injured in the blast were taken to hospital in Parachinar, the capital of the Kurram district.

    The area is subject to sectarian clashes and has seen a series of recent attacks, including a car bomb blast in March that left 24 people dead, claimed by the Pakistani Taliban.

    No such claim has yet been made for yesterday’s attack.
