 ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) - Investigators sifted through the wreckage of a bombed-out restaurant in Pakistan's capital and scoured a government database on Saturday to try to identify the remains of a suicide attacker who killed 13 people a day earlier.
Officials also vowed to launch a top-level inquiry into why intelligence that warned of a potential attack at the busy downtown marketplace where Friday's blast occurred was not acted upon to prevent the attack.
Interior Minister Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao told The Associated Press that a joint task force of federal police and intelligence agencies was formed to investigate the blast, which targeted security forces and injured 71 people, mostly bystanders.
