Pakistan volleyball crowd 'hit by suicide bomber'

At least 45 people have been killed after a suspected suicide bomb attack at a volleyball pitch in the troubled north-west of Pakistan, officials say.
Officials said the bomber drove a vehicle towards the field as people gathered to watch a match. Emergency workers put the toll as high as 70.
The attack happened near Lakki Marwat, close to North and South Waziristan.
The Pakistani army has been conducting a campaign against the Taliban in the tribal areas since October.
Dozens of people were reported to be injured in Friday's attack. Several buildings collapsed, trapping people under rubble.
