In Pakistan, an explosion in a vehicle near a crowded court complex in Peshawar today injured about 20 people. Police said the blast occurred in an auto-rickshaw outside the sessions court complex on Jail Road in Peshawar. The condition of six of them is stated to be serious. Police cordoned off the area and sealed key roads as ambulances took the injured to nearby hospitals. Officials said the exact nature of the blast was yet to be determined. The explosion sparked a fire that destroyed several cars. In the past few weeks, car bombs and suicide attackers have targeted public places, police check posts and security facilities in the city, including the provincial headquarters of the Inter-Services Intelligence agency. Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has strongly condemned the blast.
