At least 47 people have been killed and more than 150 injured by a bomb that apparently targeted policemen praying in a mosque in Peshawar, Pakistan. Officials say people are still buried under the rubble. No group has said it carried out the attack, but it has been linked to the Pakistan Taliban. Iftikhar Firdous is a journalist and founder of the Khorasan Diary. He was at the scene on Monday and described what the site of the attack was like.
