Suicide attack in Peshawar’s Khyber Bazaar kills 52, injures over 100

On Friday a suicide attack on one of Peshawar’s most populated areas, Khyber Bazaar killed 52 people and injured over a hundred.

Here is the scene of the carnage described by BBC Urdu correspondent Abdul Hai Kakar:

Police and relief workers were collecting body parts from the remains of the bus and other vehicles when I arrived.

It was a site of sheer carnage – and there were more heart-rending scenes at the nearby Lady Reading Hospital.

A line of bodies lay on the morgue floor – all shrouded in white sheets.

Most were so badly disfigured that it was not possible to recognise them. Most were missing limbs.

Here is a video report from ARY News:
