A suspected car bomb exploded outside a crowded market in north-western Pakistan, killing at least 24 people.

The blast is the latest attack by suspected militants apparently aimed at avenging an army offensive along the Afghan border.

The bombing, apparently aimed at causing maximum civilian casualties, was the third blast in as many days in or close to Peshawar, where the army is pushing into a key Taliban and al Qaida sanctuary.
