Two bombs tore apart a popular pool hall, Thursday night, in the Shiite part of town, killing eighty-one and wounding over one hundred and forty.
The second bomb went off about five minutes after the first, catching many first responders who had come to help victims of the first.
A militant group, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, claimed responsibility for the attack.
Their spokesman said that the first bomb was a suicide bomber, while the second was a car bomb done by remote control.
Earlier in the day a separate bomb had killed twelve and wounded forty.
That bomb had targeted soldiers and was claimed by the United Baluch Army.
In Mingora, twenty-two people were killed and seventy wounded when a bomb hit a Sunni mosque.
