The death toll from a massive suicide bombing that targeted an election rally for a pro-Taliban cleric rose to 54 on Monday, as Pakistan held funerals and the government vowed to hunt down those behind the attack.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for Sunday’s bombing, which also wounded nearly 200 people. The police said their initial investigation suggested that the Islamic State group’s regional affiliate could be responsible.
