3. Link now available here; at least 15 dead

A giant truck bomb today ripped through a police building in Pakistan's largest city, killing at least 15 people.

Television footage of the scene in Karachi showed devastation, with rescuers dragging bodies from the rubble and distressed women and children fleeing the site.

Hospitals reported that more than 100 people had been injured and, with more victims thought to be trapped under the rubble, the death toll is expected to rise.

Five armed men stormed the heavily-fortified provincial headquarters of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) before the truck bomb went off, the Sindh home minister, Zulfiqar Mirza, said.
