Wagah border suicide blast: Death toll rises to 61, over 200 injured

At least 55 people were killed and more than 200 injured when a suicide bomber blew himself up near the Indo-Pak Wagah border. The attack occurred shortly after a daily ceremony when troops from both sides simultaneously lower the two nations' flags. The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was a response to the Pakistani army's actions against their positions in tribal areas straddling Pakistan's border with Afghanistan.
