A car bomb ripped through a busy shopping street in Pakistan's northwest town of Charsadda on Tuesday, killing up to 15 people and wounding more than 25 others, the district police chief said.

"We have received nine dead bodies and more than 25 injured people," Doctor Zulfiqar Ahmad told AFP by telephone from the main hospital in the town, just north of Peshawar, capital of North West Frontier Province.

"We have declared an emergency in the hospital," he added. Other casualties were taken to Peshawar, where the main Lady Reading Hospital received at least five wounded people.
