Lahore : As violence continued for the second day in Sialkot, with rioters pelting vehicles and burning tyres after the burial of at least 20 of the victims of Friday's suicide bombing at a mosque, the Punjab government has announced record prize money of Rs10 million for information on those responsible.

He said no links to Al Qaida supported groups had been found, but it was still "very early in the process of investigation".

Other victims include an ex-president of the Sialkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Ghazanfar Ali Shabbir and the Sialkot chief of the Pakistan Medical Association, Dr Zaheeruddin Rizvi.
