Bomb Kills 23 in Islamabad Market
Pakistani authorities said at least 23 people were killed and 39 others wounded in a bomb blast at a food market in Islamabad Wednesday.
Police said the bomb was hidden in a crate of fruit and set off by remote control while the market was packed with shoppers and dealers.
Pools of blood and body parts were scattered across the scene.
No one has claimed responsibility for the blast. It came a day after a passenger train was bombed in Baluchistan province, in southwestern Pakistan.
At least 14 were killed and 40 wounded in that incident. Police said a bomb was hidden inside a suitcase and also set off by remote control.
A spokesman for the United Baluch Army rebel group telephoned VOA to claim responsibility.
