Bombs blasts in Pakistan

A female suicide bomber killed 43 people in an attack on a large crowd receiving aid in north-west Pakistan.

The blast took place in the town of Khar in the Bajaur region, in tribal areas close to the Afghan border - a Taliban and al-Qaeda stronghold.

People displaced by fighting had been getting food at a distribution centre.

Another100 people were injured and there are fears the death toll could rise.

The attack came after Pakistan's military took action against militants in Mohmand, an adjacent tribal region, killing an estimated 40 rebels
