TL;DR Summary

The death toll from a suicide bombing at an election rally in Pakistan has risen to at least 54, with nearly 200 people wounded. The government has vowed to hunt down those responsible for the attack, which targeted a rally organized by the Jamiat Ulema Islam party. While no one has claimed responsibility, the Islamic State group's regional affiliate is suspected to be behind the bombing. Funerals for the victims were held, and condolences poured in from across the country. The attack is seen as an attempt to destabilize the region ahead of parliamentary elections expected in October or November.
