Updated on 13 November 2009

Suicide car bombers have killed 16 people and wounded more than 80 in two attacks in north-western Pakistan, including a strike on the regional headquarters of the spy agency.

The bombings are the latest in a string of attacks on security forces, civilians and Western targets since the government launched an offensive against militants in the border region of South Waziristan, where al Qaida and Taliban leaders are believed to be hiding out.

The attack on the Inter-Services Intelligence agency building occurred in the city of Peshawar, which has borne the brunt of the militants' retaliation against the army offensive.
