At least six people have reportedly been killed in two suicide bomb blasts at a university in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan.

Two linked explosions were reported within minutes of each other at the International Islamic University, home to 12,000 students.

The first bomb took place in the male section of the campus, followed soon after by another blast in a cafeteria reserved for female students.

The explosions come as the country's army engages with suspected Taliban and al-Qaida militants in South Waziristan.
