Pakistan bombing death toll jumps to 102

PESHAWAR, Pakistan — A government official says the death toll from twin suicide bombing in Pakistan has jumped to 102 with 115 people wounded.

Meraj Din says authorities are still removing debris in the village of Yakaghund in a northwest tribal region a day after two bombers struck seconds apart near a government office.

It was this year’s deadliest attack in Pakistan.

Video footage showed dozens of men searching through piles of yellow brick and mud rubble for survivors. Women and children were among the victims.

Mohmand is one of several areas in Pakistan’s lawless tribal belt where Taliban and al-Qaida members are believed to be hiding.
