Suicide Bombing in Pakistan Kills at Least 50

A suicide attacker detonates a bomb packed with ball bearings and nails amid hundreds of worshippers celebrating the Islamic holy day of Eid al-Adha on Friday. At least 50 people are killed.

The explosion happened inside a mosque near the house of a former interior minister who has been targeted before. No one has claimed responsibility.
