At least 12 people were killed and 40 wounded when two bomb blasts went off outside a district court in northwestern Pakistan, a rescue official said.
The attack on Friday in front of the court in the town of Mardan in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province was the latest in a string of violent attacks to have hit Pakistan in recent weeks.
"So far we recovered 12 bodies of the lawyers, police personnel and civilians. Besides this, we rescued 52 injured, including lawyers, police personnel and civilians from the spot," Haris Habib, chief rescue officer in the city of Mardan in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where the blasts took place, told the Reuters news agency.
