At least two people are reported to have died in an explosion at an election rally in north-west Pakistan.

The blast is believed to have happened near the stage at a rally of Jamaat Ulema Islam, a religious party, in the tribal Kurram region.

Dozens of people are reported to have been injured.

This is the latest in a string of attacks on parties and candidates since campaigning began last month for the general election on 11 May.

Many of the attacks, but not all, have been against secular parties, the BBC's Mike Wooldridge reports from Islamabad.

Kurram is one of Pakistan's seven tribal regions close to the border with Afghanistan, dominated by militant groups linked to the Taliban or al-Qaeda.

It has frequently been the scene of sectarian violence between the country's Sunni Muslim majority and the Shia minority.
