People die from bomb blast in Pakistan market
More than 25 people have been killed in a car bomb attack in northwest Pakistan.
More than 50 others were wounded in the incident, in which a bomb exploded near a bus stand.
The bomb exploded outside a crowded bazaar in Landi Kotal, in the Khyber tribal district.
Market stalls were totally destroyed and buildings were charred by the heat of the explosion.
Local residents were forced to rush the many injured victims to a local hospital.
Pakistan's Taliban groups have been blamed by local police for the attack.
Taliban members have carried out similar bombings across Pakistan.
The Pakistani Taliban also involves militants from the Afghan Taliban and al-Qaeda, many of whom live in tribal region border areas.
A week ago, another Taliban bomb was exploded on a bus carrying government workers.
Nineteen people died in that incident.
