ISLAMABAD: Two suicide bombers blew themselves up outside the Pakistani military's main arms factory on Thursday killing at least 16 persons while injured over 40.

According to Edhi sources at least 16 persons were killed and 40 others injured in two blasts whereas a police official confirmed the killing of 11 people.
