Pakistan Car Bomb Toll Passes 100.

The death toll from a car bomb in northwestern Pakistan city of Peshawar has risen to 105, a day after the blast.

At least 200 other people were wounded in the attack. Overnight, more bodies were said to have been recovered and some of the injured had died.

Similar attacks have killed hundreds of people in recent weeks, as the army carries out an operation against the Taliban militants in south Wazinistan. The government has blamed the Taliban , but they have denied responsibility.

The attack happened at a time when Hillary Clinton was on her visit to Pakistan; meanwhile, she continues her visit in the country, arriving in Lahore.
