30 people have been wounded after a suicide bomber attacked the office of a radical Islamic group in northwest Pakistan.
The bomber targeted the office of the Organisation for the Promotion of Virtue and Suppression of Vice in the Khyber district near the provincial capital of Peshawar.
It was the second attack in less than a week after Taliban rebels killed four people, including two policemen, in a car bombing in the northwestern city of Mardan.
The Mardan attack broke an almost six-week lull in militant attacks in Pakistan, which was plagued by a wave of unprecedented violence in the past year that claimed more than 1,000 lives.
An official of the group said the bomber was a teenager who wanted to kill the head of the group, Haji Namdar, who escaped unhurt.
Local officials said it was the first attack on a pro-Taliban outfit, which could be linked to a turf rivalry between rebel groups in the tribal areas of northwest Pakistan, a known hub of Taliban and al-Qaeda militants.
