Al Jazeera English - CENTRAL/S. ASIA - Deaths in Peshawar car bomb blast

At least 10 people have been killed in a car-bomb blast in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar, just 70km from where the military is battling Taliban forces in the Swat valley.

At least 30 people were injured in Friday's explosion, which took place outside a cinema on a busy road in the city, police said.

The cinema building was badly damaged and up to 10 nearby shops were destroyed in the blast, one witness said.

"The target was the cinema as the car was parked in front of its main gate," Safwat Ghayur, the Peshawar police chief, said.
