At least 59 people have been killed in a suicide bombing at a mosque in Pakistan.
Dozens of rescue teams were tasked with the harrowing job of recovering bodies from the rubble, with reports claiming several victims were found buried alive.
Mr Mohmand told reporters on the ground the attack was carried out by 25-year-old Huzaifa of the Mohmand Agency who used seven kilograms of explosives. Heavy machinery is being used to clear the collapsed debris to find the survivors trapped under the rubble following a blast inside a mosque during midday prayers in the northwestern city of Peshawar, Pakistan.
