The death toll from a suspected suicide bomb that ripped through a mosque in Peshawar, northwestern Pakistan, rose to at least 100 on Tuesday, marking one of the deadliest attacks in the country in years as it faces what one analyst described as “a national security crisis,” reported CNN. Muhammad Asim Khan, spokesperson for Lady Reading Hospital in the city, said at least 100 people had died following Monday’s blast at the mosque in a police compound. A police official who survived the explosion, Nasarullah Khan, said he remembered seeing “a huge burst of flames” before coming surrounded by a plume of black dust. Khan said his foot broke in the blast and he was stuck in the rubble for three hours. “The ceiling fell in… the space in between the ceiling and wall is where I managed to survive,” he said.
