At least 21 killed after vehicle loaded with explosives rams Pakistan mosque

A car-bomb attack on a mosque at a police compound in north-western Pakistan has killed at least 21 people and injured more than 100, officials say. Fifteen police officers and a four-year-old child are among those killed in the suicide attack, which also involved gunmen firing on the police facility in the city of Kohat in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan's APP news agency reported. Video found by BBC Verify shows the site covered in rubble and people tending to casualties. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police suggested a faction of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), also known as the Pakistani Taliban, carried out the attack. A car loaded with explosives rammed into the entrance of the mosque at about 13:15 local time (08:15 GMT), police say.
