A suicide bomb attack by a Taliban splinter group on a government office in north-west Pakistan has killed at least 26 people queueing for national ID cards.

The bombing on Tuesday, which injured more than 70 others, was claimed by Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a group that broke away from the Pakistani Taliban (TTP) in 2014.
