A CAR BOMB BLAST ROCKS A CROWDED MARKET IN PESHAWAR


PESHWAR,Pakistan - A car bomb has exploded in a crowded market in the northwest Pakistani city of Peshawar, killing at least 80 people and wounding about 100, officials have said.
  • A huge blaze erupted after the explosion on Wednesday, which came just hours after Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, arrived in Islamabad, the Pakistani capital, for talks with government officials.
  • "The death toll is more than 80. Most of them are women and children," Sahib Gul, a doctor at the city's main hospital said.
  • "We are facing a shortage of blood. I appeal on citizens to come and donate blood," another doctor was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency.
  • The blast caused serious damage in the area, and rescue workers said people were trapped under collapsed shops and buildings.
  • The blast comes as Pakistan's military is fighting members of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in the country's semi-autonomous tribal region of South Waziristan.
  • The military launched its offensive nearly two weeks ago, pitting around 30,000 Pakistani troops against an estimated 10-12,000 Taliban fighters.
