A powerful bomb blast has ripped through an Islamic school on the outskirts of the north-west Pakistani city of Peshawar, killing at least eight students and wounding 136 others.Police say initial investigations suggest the bomb went off minutes after a bag was leftAuthorities say teachers at the madrassa and employees were also wounded
Several of the wounded students were in critical condition, and hospital authorities feared the death toll could climb further.Initially, police said the bombing killed and wounded children studying at the school but later revised their account to say that the students were in their mid-20s. Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan condemned the bombing and asked authorities to ensure the provision of best possible medical aid to the victims.
From his hospital bed, a wounded student, Mohammad Saqib, 24, said religious scholar Rahimullah Haqqani was explaining verses from the Koran when suddenly they heard a deafening sound and then cries and saw blood-stained students crying for help.Mr Saqib had bandages on both arms but he was listed in a stable condition.
No-one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack in Peshawar, which is the provincial capital of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province bordering Afghanistan.
