"We can confirm that one British national has been injured and we have offered consular assistance... He is in hospital," a spokesman said.

"The UK condemns unreservedly all such acts of indiscriminate terrorism," the spokesman added.

A huge suicide truck bomb targeted the luxury Pearl Continental hotel in the city, the capital of a northwest province plagued by Taliban violence.

Two foreigners were among the dead, provincial information minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain told AFP, but would not reveal the nationalities.
