At least 30 people have been killed in the latest suspected suicide blast to blight north-western Pakistan.

Witnesses said a driver blew himself up outside a crowded market in the city of Charsadda, north of the provincial capital of Peshawar.

The attack is the third in as many days in the North West Frontier Province as the Pakistani military continues its campaign against Taliban and al-Qaida-linked militants in nearby South Waziristan.

Forty other people were injured in today's attack, while more than 300 people, mostly civilians, are thought to have died in retaliatory attacks on Pakistani soil since the military offensive began.
