Deadly blast kills 35 in Pakistan

AFP, Peshawar
A remote-controlled bomb blast killed 35 people and wounded more than 60 others yesterday in the deadliest attack in months in the Taliban-hit tribal region of northwest Pakistan.
The explosion took place in a market in Jamrud, one of the towns of the troubled Khyber tribal region, which also used to serve as the main supply route for Nato forces operating in Afghanistan.
There was no immediate claim of responsibilityforthe bombing.
Trails of blood could be seen by the site
of the blast, which had left a large crater in the road, an AFP reporter said.
"The total number of deaths in the blast is 35 while 69 people were wounded, and of them the condition of 11 is critical," a senior administration official, Shakeel Khan Umarzai, told AFP
The target of the attack was not immediately clear.
"According to initial information, it was a remote-controlled device planted in a passenger pickup van," he said.
The burnt out wreckage of at least 15 cars littered the scene next to the shattered glass of at least nine destroyed shopfronts.
Pakistan's remote and lawless northwestern region is a stronghold of Taliban and al-Qaeda operatives and other Islamist militants opposed to the government.
Insurgents largely based in the tribal border lands have carried out bomb and gun attacks killing more than 4,700 people across Pakistan since July 2007.
But the market bombing was the first major Islamist militant attack in Pakistan since a suicide bomber killed 46 people, targeting antiTaliban militia at a funeral in the northwestern district of LowerDironSeptember 15.
Pakistan has battled a homegrown insurgency for years, with more than 3,000 soldiers killed in the battle against militancy.
There were about 120 bomb attacks in Pakistan in 2011 and the same number in 2010 according to an AFP tally.
The latest attack comes as the northwest border crossing for Nato supplies remains closed to trucks supplying foreign troops fighting in neighbouring Afghanistan following a clash in US-Pakistan relations in the wake of deadly Nato air strikes on November 26 that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers.
Pakistan rejected the results of the military coalition's investigation into the incident and said the cross-border strikes had been a deliberate act of aggression, leaving relations floundering between the uneasy antiterror allies.
