Ashiq Hussain, who lost his 21-year-old nephew Mujtaba Ali in the attack, said the family was “broken”.
“I want to ask what sin this young man had committed that he died a useless death,” he added.
Ajmal Rahbar, a student of COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, said two of his classmates died in the blast.
“They were too young to die,” he said.
Prayers were read for a further two victims in the city of Dera Ismail Khan on Saturday.
The injured, some in critical condition, remain in Islamabad hospitals. Yaqoob Bangash, an official at Islamabad’s largest public hospital, said major surgeries had been carried out and the hospital had moved on to minor surgeries.
Bangash, who works at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, said the hospital had sufficient resources to deal with the influx of patients after the attack.
