Peshawar, Oct 13: A 13-year-old suicide bomber killed 41 people in northwest Pakistan.

“Forty-one people were killed and 45 were injured in the suicide blast," said Mian Iftekhar Hussain, provincial information minister.

A spokesman from the Swat Media Centre said that six soldiers were also killed in the attack.

“When he blew himself up, some of the trucks carrying ammunition were also hit and the ammunition exploded, causes more human losses," the spokesman said.
