Some people believe that displaced persons from the South Waziristan tribal region also live in the area. Locals shifted the injured to a nearby hospital in private vehicles. No group claimed responsibility for the attack. Residents said that there had been series of attacks in the same area in the past. Two big suicide attacks killed nearly 100 people two years ago.End item/ 149
