Taliban say husband and wife in Pakistan suicide attack
A husband and wife carried out a suicide attack that killed eight people at a police station in north-western Pakistan, the Taliban has said.
The pair entered the police station dressed in burkas, hiding rifles, hand grenades and suicide vests underneath.
They held staff hostage for several hours before detonating themselves, killing seven officers and a tea boy.
The pair pretended that they had a complaint to make when they initially entered the station before removing their burkas and launching an assault.
'Different strategies'
The BBC's Orla Guerin, in Islamabad, says that the use of a husband and wife suicide squad by the Pakistani Taliban is a new tactic, and a new threat.
Already, our correspondent adds, the militants have resorted to using children as human bombs. And a suicide attack in Pakistan's tribal areas last December was blamed on a woman bomber.
