Pakistani officials say a suicide bomber has wounded at least 30 people in the northwestern Khyber tribal region. Only the bomber was killed.

Officials say the attack happened Thursday at offices of the conservative Islamic organization the "Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice."

Witnesses say the bomber struck just after a cleric appealed for donations to support Islamist militants. They say a boy stood up pretending to donate a weapon and then detonated his explosives.

Witnesses say the group's leader, Haji Namdar, escaped unhurt.
