KEY POINTS:
A suicide bomber walked up to policemen stationed outside the High Court in the Pakistani city of Lahore last night and set off his explosives, killing 21 people, most of them police.
Senior city government official Mian Ejaz said 60 people had been wounded.
City police chief Malik Mohammad Iqbal told Geo Television that all but one of the victims were policemen. "It appears the bomber was on foot and, as soon as some policemen tried to stop him, he blew himself up," Iqbal said.
Policemen had gathered outside the court in central Lahore ahead of a protest rally by lawyers.
Police caps, boots and riot shields littered the road.
