At least 29 people were wounded in Tuesday's blasts at the university campus [Reuters]

The explosions occurred within minutes of each other at the International Islamic University in the eastern part of the city on Tuesday.

"We have sent a team to the site. We are collecting information about casualties," a policeman said.

Police said that one of the bombs had been detonated by a suicide bomber in a cafeteria for female students.

Devastation

Students from around the world study at the university.

The latest bomb attacks come at a time when Pakistani troops are engaged in an offensive against suspected Taliban and al-Qaeda fighters in South Waziristan province.

Pakistan has witnessed a string of attacks this month, resulting in the deaths of more than 170 people.

Analysts say armed fighters opposed to the government are likely to step up attacks to avenge the offensive in South Waziristan.
