Fourteen people were wounded when a small bomb fitted with a timer exploded outside a grocery shop in a busy market in Peshawar on Thursday, Geo News reported.

The bomb was packed in an oil canister and placed outside the shop in the city's wholesale Rampura Market, a police officer said.

"The blast left 14 people wounded, one of them seriously," he said, adding that it also damaged two shops and one vehicle parked nearby.

The wounded were labourers or passers-by, the policeman said.

Bomb Disposal Squad chief Shafqat Malik, said it was a home-made timed device. It carried up to three kilos of explosives, he said.
