A suicide bomb killed an election candidate and nine other people in Pakistan on Monday, while a political worker died in a clash between rival parties as a wave of pre-poll violence intensified. The attacks raised new fears about the security of the elections in one week’s time, with candidates keeping a low profile since the assassination of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto at a political rally in December. The bombing took place in the tribal region of North Waziristan.
