At least 50 people are reported dead after the bombing of a mosque in Pakistan.The roof of the building collapsed after a suicide bomber blew himself up as hundreds of worshippers were leaving after Friday prayers.
It's the latest in a series of attacks on mosques and shrines across the country.
The bombing took place in Darra Adam Khel in the north of Pakistan - close to an area where the Taliban is known to operate.
Amid the aftermath, 80 others injured in the attack were taken to hospital. Locals believe the bombing could be part of a turf war between rival militant groups.
It was the biggest attack in Pakistan since September when 54 people died in the southwestern city of Quetta.
