"AL MENOS HA HABIDO 20 MUERTOS EN LAS EXPLOSIONES DE "KOHART".
"Two suicide bombers attacked refugees Saturday as they lined up for food at a camp for people fleeing military offensives in northwestern Pakistan, killing 20 people and wounding about 50 others, police said".
"The bombers struck six minutes apart at a camp in the Kacha Pukka area of Kohat, a tribally administered region close to the Afghan border, local police Chief Rashid Khan said".
"The camp hit Saturday was for people who had fled the Orakzai district, where the army has been fighting militants since the end of last year. The tempo of the operations has picked since March, with frequent aerial bombardment".
"Both were suicide attacks. Body parts of the suicide bombers have been recovered. The blasts took place at the relief distribution point for internally displaced people", Kohat police chief Dilawar Khan Bangash told AFP by telephone from the scene".
"Bangash said the first bomber detonated his explosives while displaced people gathered to receive relief items. A few minutes later the second bomber blew himself up in the middle of the gathering crowd".
"Other officials confirmed two blasts, but Khalid Omarzai, the local chief of administration, initially told a local television station that the second had been a planted device".
