Deadly blast at Pakistan mosque


At least 13 people have been killed and many more injured in a bombing at a mosque in the Pakistani tribal region of South Waziristan, officials say.
The blast occurred in the bazaar area of the region's main town of Wana.
Among those killed was a former member of Pakistan's National Assembly, Maulvi Noor Mohammad, officials say.
South Waziristan is at the centre of fighting between Pakistani forces and the Taliban, though Wana falls outside the area of the army's campaign.
Mr Mohammad was greeting members of the congregation outside the mosque when the attack happened.
Officials said it was carried out by a suicide bomber. At least 20 people were reported to have been injured. BBC News
