Two people were killed and 29 injured when a bomb exploded during a midnight film session in a cinema in Swat valley, police said Wednesday. The explosion ripped through the Palwasha movie theatre just after midnight in Mingora City, a picturesque river valley.

Shah said it was too early to speculate who could be behind the attack. "We are analysing it," he said.
