ISLAMABAD: The death toll in the suicide bombing incident on Thursday in the Hangu town in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) rose to 33 on Friday. Among the dead on Friday included those who were target of the suicide bombing at a Muharrum gathering in the Frontier town as well those who were killed in incidents of sporadic sectarian violence. Barring general assessment that it could be the handiwork of sectarian merchants the police could not arrive at any conclusive evidence on the culprits behind the suicide bombings.
