PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — A hospital administrator says the death toll in a suicide bombing at a funeral attended by anti-Taliban militiamen in northwestern Pakistan has now risen to 31.
The blast Wednesday took place at the funeral for the wife of a militia commander close to the key city of Peshawar and not far from the tribally administered regions that border Afghanistan where militants are at their strongest.
Jamal Shah, a doctor at the main hospital in Peshawar, says it has received 31 bodies and 32 wounded from the explosion.
