In Peshawar, Pakistan, suicide attackers in a truck launched an assault on Tuesday on a luxury hotel commonly used by foreigners.

Officials say the death toll from the blast stands at 11 so far, including a UN refugee agency worker, and injured about another 60. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack.

Rescuers rushed to the scene of Tuesday's attack.

The Pearl Continental, affectionately called the "PC" by Pakistanis, was once a favorite place for foreigners and elite Pakistanis, but not now.

The World Food Program in Pakistan says more than 25 UN workers were staying at the hotel when the attack occurred.

Officials confirmed that UN workers are among the dead and injured.

A hotel security guard who was wounded, recalled how the attack happened.
