After a crowd gathered in the area, a teen-aged suicide bomber on a motorcycle set off a second explosion, killing many people on the spot.[3] About 10 kilograms (22 lb) of explosives were used in the second blast according to officials.[4] Police and rescue teams soon reached the spot and cordoned the area.[5]
