Early in the morning i reported the death of 25 children in an accident.
The blast struck a council of local leaders in the Orakzai district, one of Pakistan's seven semi-autonomous tribal regions.
They were meeting to decide how to evict Taleban from the region when the attack took place.
Orakzai has been the most calm of the seven semi-autonomous tribal regions.
"We were busy in raising a lashkar [tribal militia] to evict Taleban from the region when this attack took place," Qeemat Khan Orakzai, a member of the council, told Reuters news agency.
More than 50 people were wounded when the attacker targeted a gathering of about 500 people from the Alizai tribe on Friday, according to AP news agency.
Pro-Taleban militants on the Pakistan side of the border have been blamed for a rise in attacks on US and Nato troops in Afghanistan.
Pakistan's government has been courting the tribes to persuade them to stand up to the insurgents
