Investigators sought on Saturday to identify the suicide bomber from his bloodied head. Police found a grenade at the scene of the attack. The body of the attacker was blown into several pieces. Police have found his head, hands, legs and mutilated parts of his torso, and say he was clearly a strong, well-built man.

"His face has been damaged, but it is still intact," Zafar Iqbal, senior superintendent of police, said.
| "We've recovered one of his lips and an elblow..." |
"The bomber was a young man in his early twenties." After his near escape, political colleagues said Mr Aziz recounted to them how a bearded man had run up against the driver's door of his car and blew himself up. "We have found an unexploded hand grenade at the site," Iqbal said. "Apparently the suicide bomber was carrying it with other explosives. The bomb disposal squad has defused it." |
