      Deadly blast in Pakistan mosque

      At least 50 people have been killed in a mosque in northwestern Pakistan 
after a suicide bomber blew himself up during Friday prayers.

      The attack destroyed the mosque in the village of Bagarin in Khyber 
Agency, Al Jazeera's Kamal Hyder said.

      Up to 250 people were believed to be praying at the time of the blast. 

      "At least 50 bodies have been dug out and another 100 people are 
reportedly wounded in the attack," Hyder said.

      "Hundreds of people have now arrived to see the aftermath. There is still 
some confusion as to how a lone suicide bomber could have had such devastating 
effect, giving rise to suspicion that a bomb may have been placed there."

      He called it the deadliest attack this year.

      Mosque 'collapsed'

      Television footage showed scores of residents and police officers digging 
frantically with their hands through the ruins of the mosque after its roof 
collapsed in the explosion.

            "These infidels had warned that they will take revenge"

            Tariq Hayat Khan,
            Khyber tribal region administrator
           
      "The whole of the mosque collapsed and only two pillars remain. People 
were crying," Waheed Khan, a tribal policeman, said.

      Rescuers carried bodies covered in dust and blood on blankets and scarves 
toward ambulances and private cars waiting to take them to hospital. 

      Tariq Hayat Khan, the most senior administrator in the Khyber region, 
told reporters the death toll could rise, perhaps to 70.

      About 70 wounded had been taken to hospitals, he said.
          
      "It was a suicide attack. The bomber was standing in the mosque. It's a 
two-storey building and it has collapsed," he said.

      'Enemies of Pakistan'

      Khan accused pro-Taliban fighters of carrying out the bombing after a 
recent offensive aimed in part at protecting a supply route for Nato and US 
troops operating in Afghanistan.

      "Residents of this area had co-operated and helped us a lot. These 
infidels had warned that they will take revenge," Khan said.

      "They are the enemy of Pakistan. They are the enemy of Islam."

      Zeina Khodr, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Islamabad, said many of those 
killed were members of the security forces.

      The mosque is near a police checkpoint and "people in that checkpoint 
usually pray in this mosque", she said.

      "But the political agents are saying that, and I quote, 'no Muslim could 
carry out such a crime suggesting that foreign hands were responsible'." 

      Asif Ali Zardari, the president, and Yousuf Raza Gilani, the prime 
minister, both  "strongly condemned the suicide attack" and vowed that the 
perpetrators would be brought to justice, government statements said.

      Rising violence in Pakistan's northwest is fuelling doubts about the 
country's ability to counter pro-Taliban and al-Qaeda fighters blamed for 
attacks there, and across the border in neighbouring Afghanistan.
