Two explosions went off minutes apart in the north-west Pakistani city of Peshawar early today, killing 34 people and injuring nearly 100 in one of the deadliest attacks since the US raid that killed Osama bin Laden last month, officials said.

Twenty-five people were killed and nearly 100 others injured when two explosions went off minutes apart in the north-west Pakistan city of Peshawar, officials said.

Outrage at the US has continued in Pakistan, with thousands taking to the streets chanting “Death to America” and calling for holy war over an airstrike that devastated a remote border village.

About 8,000 Islamic hard-liners today protested against the US missile strike that targeted al Qaida leaders in a Pakistani village, chanting their support for holy war and burning an effigy of US President George Bush.
