Situation in Pakistan is becoming worse than Iraq. Pretty much all cities Multan, Lahore, Peshawar, DG Khan have been targetted. Suprisingly Karachi is spared.
An explosion killed at least 20 people and wounded 60 others Tuesday in the central Pakistani city of Dera Ghazi Khan, said a rescue service official.
The blast ripped through a market located near the house of a senior adviser to the chief minister of Punjab province, said the official, Mohammed Hasnain.
The adviser, Sardar Zulfiqar Muhammad Khosa, who is a former provincial governor and a senior opposition party politician, said he was the target of the deadly attack. Police, however, initially said that Khosa was not the intended target.

Khosa told CNN that none of his family members were in the house when the attack occurred. He also said that he had never before received any threats against his life.
The attacker detonated his car in front of the main gate at Khosa’s house, said Hassan Iqbal, a senior government official.
About 20 shops in the market were left in heaps of rubble.
