PESHAWAR, Pakistan: Associated Press reported that two suicide bombers disguised in tribal police uniforms killed 50 persons Monday in an attack targeting a clan meeting called to discuss the formation of an anti-Taleban militia in northwest Pakistan, officials said.

The report said that the attack occurred on the grounds of the main government compound in Mohmand, part of Pakistan’s militant-infested tribal region. It was the latest strike against local tribesmen who have been encouraged by the government to take up arms against the Taleban.
The explosions also wounded more than 100 people, many of them critically, said Mian Iftikhar Hussain, information minister of neighboring Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
One of the reasons the attacks were so deadly was because the bombers had filled their suicide jackets with bullets, said Amjad Ali Khan, the top political official in Mohmand, who was at the compound in Ghalanai town when it was attacked.
