Curfew imposed after Pakistan funeral attack

Pakistani authorities have imposed a curfew in the north-western town of Dera Ismail Khan following a suicide bomb attack which left 27 people dead.
The bomb was detonated at the funeral of a local Shia Muslim cleric who was murdered on Thursday.
Local officials fear the blast could trigger further sectarian violence.
Angry residents rioted in the centre of the town before the army was sent to restore order and impose the curfew.
Two weeks ago, 35 people were killed in a suicide bombing in Pakistan's Punjab province.
