Several people have been wounded in a suspected suicide attack at the office of a religious organisation in north-western Pakistan, officials say.
The explosion happened at the office of a group called Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice in the Khyber tribal region, they say.
A spokesman for the organisation told Pakistan's Geo TV Australia set new Pakistan dates ...
Video appeal by missing Pakistani envoy broadcast on TV ... that the bomber was a 17-year-old boy.
Some of the injured are said to be in a critical condition.
"The bomber entered the office and blew himself up among dozens of workers of the organisation," the AFP news agency quoted an unnamed security official as saying.
It is unclear why the bomber targeted a little-known Muslim organisation.
Khyber is one of seven semi-autonomous tribal regions along the Afghan border.
Last month, a suicide bomber in a car attacked a Pakistani army base near the Afghan border, killing five troops and injuring nine.
