　　"I heard the sound of a big explosion behind me, fell off my motorcycle and got an injury to my leg. When I stood up I saw smoke everywhere. It looked like a black cloud in the air."

 

　　The other ripped through a preaching center in the northwest district of Swat.

 

　　The death toll stands at 116.

 

　　235 others have been hurt in the blasts.

 

　　An extremist Sunni Muslim group is taking credit for at least two of the explosions.
