An explosion has ripped through a market in the north-western Pakistani city of Peshawar, leaving at least 31 dead and dozens wounded, officials say.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Police said a bomb had exploded in the Kissa Khwani market, with shops and vehicles set alight.<\/span>
The blast comes a week after a double suicide bombing that killed at least 80 people at a church in the city.<\/span>
On Friday, at least 17 people were killed in the bombing of a bus carrying government employees near Peshawar.<\/span>
Peshawar, the main city of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has been hit by numerous bomb and gun attacks blamed on Taliban insurgents in recent years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hospital emergency<\/strong><\/span>
Police said they suspected the explosion was caused by a car bomb.<\/span>
Pakistan’s Dawn newspaper quoted the health minister as saying that the main Peshawar police station may have been the main target.<\/span>
An emergency situation was declared at the Lady Reading Hospital as it received the injured, many of them badly burned.<\/span>
Officials said 76 people had been hurt.<\/span>
Rising violence has hindered new Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s overtures to end the insurgency through peace talks with the Taliban.<\/span>
The Taliban have consistently rejected Pakistan’s constitution and demand the imposition of Sharia law.<\/span>
Mr Sharif is in New York at the UN and is to meet Indian PM Manmohan Singh later on Sunday.<\/span>
Mr Sharif strongly condemned the Peshawar bombing in a message from New York, calling it an attack on humanity.<\/span>
Ahead of the talks, Mr Singh said Pakistan must stop being “the epicentre of terrorism”.<\/span>
Last Sunday’s attack on the historic All Saints church – thought to be the deadliest attack against Christians in Pakistan – sparked angry protests nationwide.<\/span>
Two Islamist militant groups with Taliban links said they had ordered the attack to hit back at US drone strikes.<\/span>
More than 120 people were wounded.<\/span>
Friday’s bus bomb targeted government employees returning home in the Gulbela area, some 15km (9 miles) north-east of the city.<\/span>
In addition to those killed, at least 34 people were injured.<\/span><\/p>\n
