At least seven people were killed and 34 others wounded in a huge bomb blast at a five-star hotel in Peshawar Tuesday, officials said. It was the latest in a series of attacks on urban centres in country in what officials have said are revenge for a military offensive in tribal areas against Taliban rebels. The blast hit the luxury hotel in the high-security Khyber Road area of Peshawar, and fire swept through the building. "Seven people are dead and 34 injured," senior district administration official Sahibzada Anees told a foreign news agency. Senior police official Abdul Ghafoor Afridi told foreign news agency: "It was a bomb brought in a vehicle in the garb of hotel supplies." It is the seventh deadly bombing to hit the troubled city in a month, as fears grow that Taliban militants are extracting revenge for a punishing six-week military offensive against them in three northwest districts.
