At least 21 people died in an armed assault on a university in Pakistan on Wednesday, where witnesses reported two large explosions as security forces moved in under dense fog to halt the bloodshed.
The number of dead rose rapidly after armed men stormed the Bacha Khan university in Charsadda, about 50 kilometres from the city of Peshawar, in the latest outrage to hit the militant-infested region.
