Blast Kills Dozens in Pakistan

A car bomb exploded today in a crowded bazaar in Peshawar, the capital of Pakistan's troubled North West Frontier Province, leaving at least 41 people dead and more than 100 injured. Many of the victims were in a passing bus that was reduced to a charred frame. Officials were uncertain whether the bomb was remote-controlled or triggered by a suicide bomber. The Taliban, bombarded by air forces in its tribal area stronghold, recently threatened attacks.
