Amritsar, Feb 21 (UNI) Another group of 17 people, including two women, from Pakistan arrived today to identify the bodies of their relatives killed in the Samjhauta Express blasts at Panipat on Sunday night.

They crossed into India at Wagah border, about 35 km from here, in batches and left for Panipat where the bodies of the victims are lying for identification at the Civil hospital.

A group of nine people, who left Pakistan yesterday and reached Panipat this morning, failed to recognise their kin among the victims at the hospital. They later left for Delhi to search for their relatives among the injured passengers admitted in the Safdarjang Hospital.

Only 18 bodies have been identified so far, in which 13 are Pakistanis while others are Indians, officials at Panipat said.
