The death toll of Pakistan suicide attacks in the town of Shabqadar climbed to reach 89 on Saturday, police said.

"The death toll has risen to 89," district police chief Nisar Khan Marwat told AFP.
"There are five civilians among the dead and four other bodies which had been torn into pieces could not be identified yet," Marwat said.
The death toll was revised from a previous figure of 80.

Pakistan's Taliban said Friday's attack, which also wounded around 140 people, 40 of them critically, was to avenge the death of Osama bin Laden at the hands of US occupation forces.

It was the deadliest attack this year in the country where the government is in crisis over the killing of the Al-Qaeda chief earlier this month.
