At least 41 people have been killed in a suicide car bombing in Pakistan\'s Swat Valley.
Its the latest in a string of attacks and comes amid warnings of an offensive against militants in nearby South Waziristan, on the Afghan border.
On Saturday militants stormed the army headquarters in Rawalpindi and Pakistan vowed to retaliate.
The Pakistani Taliban later said it had carried out the attack in Rawalpindi, through a Punjab faction of the group.
Spokesman Azam Tariq said it was to avenge the recent killing of Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud by a US drone.
