Deadly blasts at market in Pakistani city of Peshawar

At least 34 people have been killed and 90 wounded after two explosions ripped through a market in the north-western Pakistani city of Peshawar, police say.
The blasts occurred just after midnight in an area of the city that is home to political offices and army housing.
The number of attacks by militants in Pakistan has risen sharply since al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was killed in a US commando raid last month.
On Thursday, a bombing on the outskirts of Peshawar left four people dead.
An explosive device was planted in a pile of rubbish by the roadside in the Matani area, police said. The victims included a woman and a child.
