Deaths in Pakistan Swat blast

At least 14 people have been killed and 50 others wounded in a suicide attack in Pakistan's Swat valley. The blast on Saturday at a security checkpoint  in Saidu Sharif town comes just a day after a twin suicide attack on a military convoy in the city of Lahore killed at least 49 people. Speaking about Saturday's blast, Qazi Jamil, a senior police official, said the attacker was trying to get into a government building used by police and security forces. The Reuters news agency reported another official as saying the bomber had been travelling in a rickshaw when he detonated his explosives.
