Schoolboy kills 27 in suicide blast

10 feb 2011

A teenage suicide bomber has killed about 27 soldiers at an army facility in north-western Pakistan.



The Taliban has claimed responsibility for the bombing, which wounded about 40 other people.



Pakistani police say the suicide bomber was dressed in a school uniform.



\"It was a suicide attack. The teenage bomber was on foot and was wearing a school uniform,\" said Abdullah Khan, a senior police officer in Mardan.



The teenager blew himself up as dozens of army recruits were taking part in a morning training session.



The blast tore through the troops in the town in Pakistan\'s north-western province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.



The injured were taken to nearby hospitals.



Pakistani prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has condemned the attack.



\"Such cowardly attacks cannot affect the morale of the security agencies and the resolve of the nation to eradicate terrorism,\" he said.
