The bombing follows attacks in Turkey and Bangladesh over the past week that many have linked to the Islamic State. As more were confirmed dead on Monday the death toll climbed past the multi-pronged attack by Islamic State gunmen and suicide bombers in Paris last year, which killed 130. “There are still bodies under the destruction,” said Ibrahim Hassan, 28, as he helped search through the scorched stores. “I just want to find him to bury him.”Many bodies were too badly burned by fire to be identified. Security forces had cordoned off the street on Sunday night, and it was only accessible by foot.
