 People had been gathering for prayers to mark Ashura, one of the most important religious ceremonies for Shia Muslims. The Pakistani military says eight soldiers were killed in Monday's suicide attack on a military post in the northwest. Ten attackers were also killed. A suicide bomber rammed a vehicle laden with explosives into a perimeter wall in Banu, near the Afghan border. Officials said many were also injured after five militants wearing suicide vests entered the local residential area.
