A suicide bomber has killed 37 people after a meeting of supporters of murdered ex-PM Benazir Bhutto's party, Pakistan's interior ministry says.
The attack, on the last day of campaigning ahead of general elections on Monday, also wounded 90.
It took place in Parachinar, the main town of the tribal region of Kurram in north-west Pakistan.
Violence and vote-rigging fears have marred campaigning for the polls, which were postponed after Mrs Bhutto died.
Mrs Bhutto, the head of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP), was assassinated in Rawalpindi on 27 December.
President Pervez Musharraf said on Saturday that he was confident the elections would be free and fair.
