Peshawar : The army might be called in the city of Peshawar, where a suicide bombing Wednesday killed at least 87 people and injured over 200, a media report said quoting a minister.

"Army might be called in the city if the need arises", said Bashir Ahmed Bilour, a senior minister of the North-West Frontier province as quoted in a report by The News.

He added that the government would bring the terrorists to "the justice they deserve" and denied that the incident took place due to the security lapses.

At least 87 people have been reported killed in the attack in the Chowk Yadgar Mina Bazaar area.
