A car bomb has killed at least 100 people and wounded more than 200 others in a shopping area of the northwestern Pakistan city of Peshawar. U.S. Secretary of State(国务卿) Hillary Clinton arrived in Pakistan just hours earlier for a three-day visit.

The blast in Peshawar was the deadliest single attack this year in Pakistan.

Witnesses say the explosion(爆炸) hit a crowded market late in the day, Wednesday, killing 1 mostly women and children. A large fire then broke out, engulfing 2 several shops and spewing(喷出) a cloud of gray smoke over the area.

Several buildings collapsed 3. Rescue workers frantically 4 searched for survivors 5 in the debris 6.

The attack occurred as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with top Pakistani leaders in the capital, Islamabad.

She strongly condemned 7 the attack.

"These attacks on innocent people are cowardly," said Clinton. "They are not courageous 8. If the people behind these attacks were so sure of their beliefs, let them join the political process."

Speaking alongside the Secretary, Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi had a defiant 9 message for the militants 11.

"We defeated you in Swat and Malakand," he said. "And the brave soldiers and officers of the Pakistani army will defeat you in Waziristan."

Nearly two weeks ago, Pakistan's military launched(推出) an offensive in the South Waziristan tribal 12 region against Pakistani Taliban militants based there. Since then, a number of high-profile militant 10 attacks have shocked the nation, including an attack with two suicide bombers 13 on an Islamic university in the capital.

Army officials say the offensive against the militants in Waziristan has been successful with troops gaining control of key areas and killing more than 200 militants. About two-dozen soldiers have been reported to have died.

There is no independent confirmation(确认) of the tolls 14, and the region has been closed to outsiders.

Secretary Clinton is expected to spend the next several days in Pakistan, meeting with senior officials and community leaders in Islamabad and the country's cultural center, Lahore.

She has pledged U.S. support in a number of areas, including helping 15 Pakistan repair and upgrade key electricity generating stations as the country faces severe power shortages.(本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑)
