Deadly Suicide attack in Mastung claimed lives of at least 60 people, drawing international outcry and attention.
Whereas the devastating suicide attack in Hangu claimed lives of 5 people.
Although no group had claimed responsibility for both the attacks, but Pakistani authorities had blamed Indian agencies for carrying out terrorist activities in the country.
