In pictures: Pakistan bombings

At least 63 people have been killed in twin suicide bombings outside a munitions factory in the town of Wah, near Islamabad, Pakistani officials say.

Dozens of people were injured in the blasts outside two different gates of the factory as workers left the sprawling complex.

Ambulances rushed to the scene to take the injured to hospital, amid fears that the death toll would rise.

Friends and relatives of the victims gathered outside the town's hospital, mourning the death of their loved ones.

The attack sent shockwaves through the town, which is now preparing for a mass funeral of the victims.

Security was stepped up across the town, after the Pakistani Taleban claimed responsibility for the blasts, saying it was a response to army violence in the country's north-west.
