REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, ISLAMABAD -- A gun attack on a university in north-west Pakistan, has killed at least 19 people and injured 50, officials say.

Nearly three hours after the attack began, an army official said firing had stopped but troops were searching Bacha Khan University campus in Charsadda.

Troops say at least four attackers have been killed. It is not clear if others are at large.

More than 130 students were killed by Taliban militants at a school in the nearby city of Peshawar in 2014.

Charsadda is about 50km (30 miles) from the city, BBC reported.
