In pictures: Peshawar reels as terrorism bares its fangs once again

Peshawar reeled a day after a mosque blast at a police headquarters in the city’s Police Lines area left more than 92 people martyred and wounded 150 more.

As of Tuesday, bodies — mostly of police personnel — were still being pulled from the wreckage, a sobering reminder of the resurgence of terrorism in the country.

As authorities dither in devising a plan of action, the ultimate losers are the people: those who lost their lives, and those who survived this wanton carnage.

Some of the photos are graphic.
