00:00 At least 44 people were killed and over 200 injured when a suspected suicide bomber set
00:09 off explosives ahead of a political rally in northwestern Pakistan on Sunday evening.
00:16 The blast took place at around 5 p.m. local time at the gathering of the conservative
00:21 Jamiat Ulema Islam Fadzi, JUIF party, known for its links to hardline political Islam
00:28 in the former tribal area of Bajau, which borders Afghanistan.
00:33 The provincial police chief told Reuters the explosion was caused by a suicide bomber.
00:39 Pakistan has seen a resurgence of attacks by Islamist militants since last year when
00:44 a ceasefire between the Tariq-e-Taliban Pakistan TTP and Islamabad broke down.
00:51 The targeted party, the JUIF, is a major ally of the coalition government of Prime Minister
00:57 Shabaz Sharif, which is preparing for a national election to be held by November.
01:04 Sharif condemns the blast, calling it an attack on the democratic process of Pakistan, and
01:10 vowed that those responsible would be punished.
