Add a comment (46) DEADLY suicide bomb attacks in north-west Pakistan avenging the death of Osama Bin Laden have killed 80 people.
The twin blasts ripped apart the paramilitary force's training centre for the Frontier Constabulary in Shabqadar, Charsadda district.
Police say both blasts were caused by suicide attacks after early suspicions that one of the bombs was planted.
It was the first major militant attack in Pakistan since bin Laden's death in a May 2 US raid and one of the deadliest to hit the country ever.
