March 21, 2013
Twelve people, including women and children, were killed and more than 30 injured when a powerful car bomb went off at a refugee camp at Nowshera in Pakistan's restive northwest today, officials said.
The blast occurred shortly before noon near the administration block of the sprawling Jalozai camp, which houses both Afghan refugees and people displaced by recent fighting in the northwest.
Noor Akbar, the official in-charge of the camp, told reporters that 12 people were killed. Two women and as many children were among the dead, officials said.
