PESHAWAR (Pakistan) - SUSPECTED militants exploded a car bomb in a market crowded with women and children on Wednesday, killing 100 people and turning shops selling wedding dresses, toys and jewelry into a mass of burning debris and bodies.
The attack in the northwestern city of Peshawar was Pakistan's deadliest since 2007 and came as US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton visited the country to offer support for its fight against a strengthening Al-Qaeda and Taleban-led insurgency based along the Afghan border.
Ms Clinton was three hours' drive away in the capital meeting Pakistani government leaders when the bomb went off in Peshawar. Her trip was not announced in advance in Pakistan for security reasons.
The bomb was directed squarely at civilians, unlike many previous blasts that have targeted security forces or government or Western interests.
While no one claimed responsibility, the bomb appeared aimed at undercutting public and political support for an ongoing army offensive against militants close to the frontier and showing that the government was unable to keep its people safe.
The shaky, US-backed government said the bombing - the latest in a series this month - had strengthened its resolve to press ahead with the assault in the South Waziristan border region, a militant stronghold and a global training and operations hub for Al-Qaeda. At least 60 of the dead were women and children. -- AP

NEW YORK - FOOTAGE leaked from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 reveals that players of the upcoming video game can shoot innocent civilians in an airport in a realistic rendering of a terrorist attack.
The game, which has an 'M' rating for mature audiences, comes out next month in what its publisher hopes may be the most lucrative launch in the history of entertainment, not just for games but counting music and movies too.
In a statement, game publisher Activision Blizzard Inc said on Wednesday the footage was taken illegally and is not representative of the game's overall experience.
Instead, the game is designed to evoke the 'atrocities of terrorism,' Activision's public-relations agency said in an e-mailed statement.
The game follows players as they 'face off against a terrorist threat dedicated to bringing the world to the brink of collapse,' the company said. This includes a plot line in which the player infiltrates a Russian villain's inner circle to defeat him.
Presumably the airport attack is one of the scenes in which the player acts as part of the villain's group. -- AP
