United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Friday condemned the car bombing Peshawar, Pakistan that killed at least 49 people, including women and children, and wounded dozens more. In a statement issued by his spokeswoman, Ban said he “condemns, in the strongest possible terms, today's bomb attack at a market in the Pakistani town of Peshawar” and that “no cause can justify such indiscriminate violence.” The suicide bomber detonated his vehicle near a crowded market in Pakistan's northwestern city of Peshawar. The attack came days after another suicide attack killed five staff members at the U.N. food agency's office in the capital Islamabad and two weeks after another explosion killed 11 in a Peshawar commercial area.
