Peshawar death toll rises after car bomb devastates market area

A suspected Taliban car bomb exploded in a Pakistan market today killing more than 90 people, mostly women and children, as US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived to pledge support for the campaign against Islamist militants.

More than 200 people were wounded in the blast in the main north-western city of Peshawar, the deadliest in a series of attacks by suspected this month.
