Pakistan bombing: Wagah suicide attack near India border

More than 50 people have been killed and at least 100 injured in a suicide bombing close to Pakistan's only border crossing with India. 

The Pakistani Taliban says it carried out the attack, although other militant groups, including Jundullah also claim responsibility. 

Officials say three members of the Pakistani border force were killed. 

The Wagah crossing is a high-profile target, with large crowds gathering every day to watch an elaborate flag-lowering ceremony as the border closes. 

The Punjab Police Chief, Mushtaq Sukhera, told the media that the blast occurred when a suicide attacker approached a restaurant after the day's ceremony.
