The two attackers struck at the end of a service at All Saints Church in Peshawar, the main town in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province which has borne the brunt of a bloody Islamist insurgency in recent years. Doctor Arshad Javed of Peshawar's Lady Reading Hospital told AFP that 72 people had been killed and more than 100 wounded.
