0 
Death toll of two suicide blasts which ripped through a bazaar on Friday morning in Pakistan's northwest tribal area of Mohmand agency rises to 100, said a regional official Miraj Khan on Saturday.
The sharp rise of the death toll is due to the fact that many dead bodies were recovered from the debris of the buildings destroyed at the blast site, said the official, adding search for the bodies in the debris is still under way.
The rescue work there is progressing very slowly, according to local media reports, adding this is due to the lack of adequate equipment.
On Friday morning, two suicide bombers, reportedly one on a motorbike and another on foot, attacked a political agent's office located at a crowded bazaar in the Tehsil Yakaghand area of Mohmand agency in northwest Pakistan, destroying more than 100 shops and 24 vehicles near the blast site, causing huge casualties.
