Pakistan mosque: Suicide attack leaves 25 dead<\/strong> : Peshawar, Pakistan (CNN)A suicide attack at a Pakistani mosque in the country’s tribal areas killed at least 25 people Friday, an official told CNN.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jamaat-ul-Ahra, a splinter group of the Pakistani Taliban, has claimed responsibility for the bombing that also injured 34 people, according to the group’s spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan.<\/span><\/p>\n

The attack took place at one of the biggest mosques in Mohmand Agency, a district in Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas north of Peshawar, said Naveed Akbar, assistant administrator for the agency.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two children under the age of 10 were killed in the blast while four children under the age of 10 are among the injured, Akbar said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The official said the suicide bomber detonated his device inside the packed hall of the mosque, which has a capacity of 100 to 150 people.<\/span><\/p>\n

Screams could be heard after the blast, and body parts were found scattered around the mosque, Akhbar said. <\/span><\/p>\n

He said the death toll is likely to grow.<\/span>
\nPakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif strongly condemned the attack in a statement.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The cowardly attacks by terrorists cannot shatter the government’s resolve to eliminate terrorism from the country,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jamaat-ul-Ahra has carried out several major attacks in Pakistan this year, including a bombing on August 8 that targeted lawyers and journalists and killed more than 72 people.<\/span><\/p>\n
