The faithful line up to pray in a small Shia mosque hidden away down the dusty side-streets of Peshawar.

But the central arch where the imam stands in front of his congregation is covered in blast marks and dark smears.

The ornate blue tiles have been smashed.

This is where a militant blew himself up just two weeks before.

"When I came inside, I saw severed legs, human organs and heads… all over the mosque," says Syed Hussain Hussaini, whose nephew was among the 21 people killed.
