Pakistan suicide bombing death toll rises to 19 at Swat police station

The National (UAE)—The death toll from a suicide bombing at a police station in Kabal, in Pakistan's Swat district, has risen to 19, according to the latest police accounting, up from initial reports of 14 to 17 dead. The bomber struck during what officials describe as an anti-militant rally, with victims including several police officials among the dead. Authorities have not named a group behind the attack, though the target — a police station involved in anti-militant operations — points toward an insurgent motive. The rising toll reflects casualties who died of their wounds in the hours after the initial blast.
