Pakistan suicide bombing leaves 21 dead

At least 21 soldiers of Pakistan’s Khasadar (tribal police) force were killed and 27 others sustained injuries when a suicide bomber hit a checkpoint on the Pak-Afghan border at Torkham in Khyber Agency on Thursday.
According to official sources, the bomber approached the area on foot and then triggered his suicide jacket to blow himself up at the border post that serves as the crossing point between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The blast came just after sunset as the Khasadars, members of the government’s tribal police force, were breaking their fast. At least 21 Khasadars were reportedly killed on the spot and 27 others wounded.
The sources said the death toll might rise.
