In pictures: Pakistan blasts

Two explosions in the Pakistani city of Rawalpindi have left at least 24 people dead.

The first blast went off on a bus carrying people working for the military. Seventeen people died.

Officials say a man riding a motorbike detonated the second bomb, which killed seven people.

Many of the injured were taken to hospital for treatment.

The military have come under frequent attack from militants in recent weeks.

The latest attacks come at a time of political upheaval in Pakistan, with former prime ministers Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto due to return home to challenge President Musharraf.
