Dozens were killed and injured in an attack by an armed group in a northwestern city.

An armed group linked to Tehrik-e-Taliban (TTP) โ€” the Pakistani Taliban โ€” claimed responsibility for a suicide bomb attack on a mosque in northwestern Pakistan on Friday.

Similar attacks have plagued the country for about 20 years.

Pakistanโ€™s government says many of them are launched from just across the border in Afghanistan.

As a result, relations between the two countries have soured.

So, how should Islamabad deal with the bomb threat?
