Via The Guardian:
A bomb blast in Peshawar, north-west Pakistan, has killed 31 people and wounded 70, a week after a bombing at a church in the frontier city killed scores, police and hospital authorities said.
Islamist violence has been on the rise in Pakistan in recent months, undermining the efforts of the prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, to tame the insurgency by launching peace talks with the Taliban.
Sunday’s blast happened outside a police station in Peshawar in an area crowded with shops and families. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
