Twin bomb attacks on a paramilitary force academy in north-west Pakistan have killed 80 people, police say.



At least 120 people were wounded in the blasts at the training centre for the Frontier Constabulary in Shabqadar, Charsadda district.



After early suspicions that one of the bombs was planted, police said both blasts were suicide attacks.



The Pakistani Taliban said they carried out the attack to avenge the death of Osama Bin Laden earlier this month.



The al-Qaeda leader was killed during a US commando raid in the northern Pakistani town of Abbottabad on 2 May.
