SUICIDE BOMB KILLS 4 AT CAPITAL'S UNIVERSITY
20 Oct 2009
At least four people have been killed and 18 wounded in bomb explosions at a university in the Pakistani capital Islamabad. One report has put the death toll up to seven which happened at the International Islamic University. This fugure includes two suicide bombers.
The attack is the first since the Pakistani army began its offensive against militants in South Waziristan. Pakistan was hit by a wave of bombings in the days before the assault began.
Security has been stepped up in recent days, and many schools in Islamabad and other big cities were told to close for the week.
