British Airways has suspended "indefinitely" flights to and from Pakistan after a suicide bomb attack on a hotel in the country's capital, Islamabad.

Saturday's bombing at the city's Marriott Hotel killed 53 people and injured 266, including six British nationals, one a child.

BA, which flies six times a week to Pakistan, said it had suspended services "in light of the current security situation" and was now in discussion with other operators about how to provide alternative travel options to and from Islamabad.
