Police centre attacked in Islamabad

Source: al Jazeera

A large explosion has injured several people and badly damaged barracks at the police headquarters in the Pakistani capital.

Police said that initial reports of fatalities were incorrect, but that at least seven people had been wounded in Thursday's blast in Islamabad.

Police believe the attack was carried out by a suicide bomber in a car who was pretending to deliver sweets to members of the anti-terrorism unit.

Al Jazeera's Kamal Hyder, reporting from the scene, described the attack as "audacious" and "well-planned".
