Suicide bombers killed after targeting Pakistan court

Officials have said at least five people have been killed and more than 15 wounded in an attack on a courthouse in north-west Pakistan.

Three suicide bombers were killed after they tried to enter the court in the Tangi area of Charsadda district.

Explosions and gunfire could be heard. One bomber blew himself up and the others were killed, although one report said one attacker was still alive and on the loose inside the court complex.

In the latest attack, the suicide bombers reportedly threw hand grenades and opened fire as they tried entering the court premises.

Pakistan has launched a security crackdown which included closing border crossings with Afghanistan and claims it killed 100 militants.
