(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for twin bomb attacks on a training center of security forces in the country’s northwest, which according to official killed 55 security men and three civilians.

A Taliban spokesman called media outlets and claimed responsibility for the attacks on the main training center of Frontier Constabulary (FC), a militia force to maintain security in the country.

The Friday attack is the deadliest after the killing of the al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden by the US Special Forces in Pakistan's northwestern city of Abbottabad on May 2.

Al-Qaeda and Pakistan Taliban had vowed to avenge the death of bin Laden.
