(AFP) — Suspected Taliban militants planted a remote-controlled bomb that blew up a music shop and neighbouring stalls in Pakistan's northwest city of Peshawar, police said Tuesday.

"A CD and music centre, as well as three other shops were destroyed when a locally made bomb went off in front of a bus stand in the Faqir Abad area of Peshawar," local police official Anwar Khan told AFP.

No loss of life was reported as the shops were closed overnight when the bomb exploded, police said. "It was a huge explosion," Khan said.
