The hospital and police officials said today that another 105 people were wounded in the bombing at a gas station near the city of Hilla, south of Baghdad.
The latest death toll is an increase by 19 over the figure announced by officials a day after the attack, which targeted Shiite pilgrims returning home after marking a major religious occasion in the holy city of Karbala.
The officials attributed the rise in the death toll to the completion of the identification of bodies burnt beyond recognition.
