Pakistani blast reeks havoc

A bomb containing 20-25kg of explosives designed to spread fire has killed at least 20 people and injuring another 70 in the north-western Pakistani city of Peshawar. The blast hit a heavily populated area outside a Shia mosque near the central Kissa Khwani bazaar.

Although it is not immediately clear who was behind the attack, authorities attribute it to recent sectarian violence and fights between the army and Islamist militants.

Things have got even worse. Supplies intended for US and NATO forces in Afghanistan were recently burnt.
