Blast kills 35 at Pakistan army camp

PESHAWAR, Pakistan - A suicide attacker detonated a bomb at the army's main training base on Wednesday, killing at least 35 soldiers, the military said.

Local residents said the soldiers had been doing morning exercises before the attack, which also wounded some troops.

"A man wrapped in a cloak came running into the training area and exploded himself where recruits had gathered for training," the army said in a statement.

"We heard a deafening sound of a blast in the morning," said Akbar Khan, who lives nearby.
