Worshippers fill Pakistan mosque where bomb killed 100

STORY: Worshippers in the wider Pakistani city, however, were also apprehensive. "Today was Friday, and we were very scared that, God forbid, another incident could occur, which could end up in another disaster," said Mohammad Muddasir Ehsan as he left another mosque in the city.

The bomber behind the attack had been identified as a member of a militant network, according to the police chief of Khyber Pashtunkhwa province, who did not provide further details.

The bombing was the deadliest in a decade to hit Peshawar, a northwestern city that has suffered decades of Islamist militant violence and is located near the restive Pashtun tribal lands bordering Afghanistan.
