The Pakistani city of Peshawar has been hit by a suicide bomb attack for the sixth time in just 11 days.

A suicide bomber blew himself up outside a courthouse while he was being frisked by police. At least 15 people were killed and dozens injured. The wave of suicide attacks is linked to an army offensive in nearby South Waziristan on the Afghanistan border. So far, hundreds of people have been killed in the series of attacks.
