Death toll rises to 14 in a Pakistan suicide attack claimed by a Pakistani Taliban splinter group

A suicide attack on a security post in Bannu, northwest Pakistan, has killed 14 police officers. The attack, which occurred late Saturday, involved a suicide bomber detonating an explosives-laden vehicle, followed by a shootout and the collapse of the building. A newly formed militant group, Ittehad-ul-Mujahideen Pakistan, claimed responsibility, though authorities suspect it is a front for the Pakistani Taliban. Rescuers worked to recover bodies from the rubble, and three officers were injured. Security forces have launched an operation to find those responsible, while funerals for the slain officers were held under tight security.
