A private TV Channel has released the CCTV video footage of the suicide attack carried out here at UN World Food Program office on Monday.
In the video footage one can easily identify a suicide bomber, wearing black uniform of FC personnel and holding a bottle in his hand.

Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan said he was detained for questioning Saturday at a US airport because he has a Muslim name.
Khan, known as the "King of Bollywood", said he was questioned at Newark Airport in Newark, New Jersey, for two hours but was let go after the Indian embassy in the United States intervened.
Khan "is a Muslim name and I think the name is common on their checklist", the 43-year-old actor told an Indian television station by telephone from Chicago.
Khan, named as one of the top 50 most influential men in the world in 2008 by US magazine Newsweek, was detained by US immigration officers early Saturday.
The immigration officers wanted to know why the actor was visiting the United States after his name popped up on the computer screen at the counter.
"I was waiting for my bags... I thought it was nice of them to take me to another room... but that was apparently a second check," Khan said, adding: "I had my papers in order."
"I was really taken aback," Khan told the CNN-IBN television station.
"I did not want to say anything just in case they took everything wrong because I am little worried about Americans because they do have this issue when your name is Muslim," he added.
US airport officials are frequently accused by human rights groups of racially profiling Muslims.
The actor, who was heading to Chicago to take part in celebrations Saturday to mark India's Independence Day, said the incident was a "little embarrassing" for an entertainer of his stature.
India's government reacted sharply, saying many such incidents have taken place in the United States.
"I am of the opinion that the way we are frisked -- for example I too was frisked -- we should also do the same to them," Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni told reporters in New Delhi.
In the Indian capital, US Ambassador Timothy Roemer described Khan in a statement as a "global icon" who is a welcome guest in the United States.
"We are trying to ascertain the facts of the case -- to understand what took place," he said. AFP

Two more people have died from swine flu in India taking the death toll to four, an official said Sunday, as the government reviewed measures to control the virus.
The latest deaths were reported overnight from the western states of Maharashtra and Gujarat, a federal health ministry spokesman said.
One of the dead was a 43-year-old who arrived in Gujarat on July 31 from the United States, his uncle told AFP by phone.
The other was a 42-year-old Maharashtra school teacher, the Press Trust of India news agency said.
According to Indian health authorities, about 800 people have tested positive for the A(H1N1) viral infection, which was first reported in Mexico and the United States in April.
A health ministry statement said 511 of the 800 had been treated successfully, adding that swine flu was also responsible for the death Saturday of a 53-year-old woman from Mumbai who was suffering other medical problems.
India's first swine flu casualty was 14-year-old girl who died on Monday.
Following the increase in infections across the country, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh ordered the health ministry to co-ordinate action with state governments, a spokesman said.
The World Health Organization said last week that more than 1,150 people have died from swine flu and the virus was now in 168 countries and territories. Nearly 90 percent of deaths have been in the Americas.
China rushed nearly one million people out of harm's away as Typhoon Morakot slammed into its coast Sunday after triggering Taiwan's worst flooding in 50 years, leaving at least four people dead.
After also leaving tens of thousands trapped in Taiwan, the powerful storm landed in China's Fujian province at 4:20 pm (0820 GMT), the provincial meteorological bureau said.
Earlier in the day, a four-year-old child died in the Chinese city of Wenzhou after his family's house collapsed in heavy rains and winds, the official news agency Xinhua reported.
The child was buried along with four adults in debris and died after emergency treatment failed, Xinhua said, citing the city's flood-control headquarters.
Morakot pounded Taiwan over the weekend with powerful winds and torrential rain, forcing the government to deploy the military to rescue stranded residents, officials said.
Television footage showed a woman in tears reporting that her daughter and husband had plunged into a river when a flash flood swept away their car in the central county of Nantou.
"My daughter called me twice saying: 'We're being washed away! Hurry, hurry!' Then I lost them," the sobbing woman told reporters.
Officials said three people were confirmed dead and at least 31 were missing as Morakot dumped a record 2.5 metres (100 inches) of rain on the southern county of Pingtung.
At least 10,000 people were trapped in three coastal townships, Pingtung deputy magistrate Chung Chia-pin said, and officials said tens of thousands of other people were also trapped in the counties of Tainan and Chiayi.
"This is the worst flooding in Chiayi in 50 years," county magistrate Chen Ming-wen told reporters.
A typhoon that struck Taiwan in August 1959 killed 667 people and left some 1,000 missing.
Across the Taiwan Strait, more than 505,000 people were evacuated from the Fujian coast and another 490,000 were relocated in the neighbouring province of Zhejiang, Xinhua reported.
Zhejiang issued a red alert earlier Sunday as it registered a maximum wind speed of nearly 180 kilometres (113 miles) an hour around the coastal city of Taizhou, Xinhua said.
Gale-force winds were expected to persist for at least three days and waves were forecast to reach as high as seven metres.
More than 35,000 ships were called in to port as the storm approached, Xinhua quoted Zhejiang flood-control headquarters as saying.
A cargo ship was stranded in rough seas and rescuers were trying to rescue its eight sailors, the agency reported.
Among the missing in Taiwan were 14 workers who disappeared when their makeshift shelter beside a river in southern Kaohsiung county was washed away by rising floodwaters early Sunday.
A bridge linking Kaohsiung and Pingtung counties collapsed and a local television station cited a motorist who narrowly escaped plunging into the river as saying he feared two cars had fallen in.
Armoured vehicles and marine landing craft, as well as rubber dinghies, were mobilised in a rescue operation involving at least 1,200 troops, Taiwan's defence ministry said.
Television footage showed a six-storey hotel in Taitung, southeastern Taiwan, collapsing in the floods. Staff and guests had already been evacuated, the reports said.
The typhoon has caused at least 2.1 billion Taiwan dollars (64 million US) in agricultural damage while 170,000 houses were left without power and 440,000 homes without water, according to officials.
Morakot also left floods and landslides in its wake after grazing the Philippines on its way to Taiwan.
The Manila government's civil defence office said the storm had left a total of 21 people dead, including two French tourists and a Belgian, with seven other people still missing.
