35 Killed In Pakistan Market Blast

Thirty-five people were killed and over 60 others injured when a powerful bomb blast ripped through a crowded market in the restive Khyber tribal region of northwest Pakistan on Tuesday, officials said.

The remote-controlled bomb was planted in a pick-up truck that was parked at a stand for trucks and buses at the market in Jamrud, one of the main towns of Khyber Agency.

All persons sitting in the truck were killed instantly when the bomb went off, witnesses said. Officials of the political administration told the media that 35 people had died in the attack.
