Islamabad , Pakistan ( CNN ) -- The militants behind Wednesday 's deadly strike on a Pakistani marketplace that killed at least 90 people -- most of them women -- are `` on the losing side of history , '' U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said at a joint news conference with her Pakistani counterpart . `` If the people behind the attacks were so sure of their beliefs let them join the political process , let them come forth to the people and make their case that they do n't want girls to go to school , that they want women to be kept back , that they believe they have all the answers , '' Clinton said in response to the car bombing in Peshawar . `` They know they are on the losing side of history but they are determined to take as many lives with them as their movement is finally exposed for the nihilistic , empty effort that it is . '' Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi also condemned the deadly attack , offering his condolences to the victims and their families and directly addressing the attackers . `` We will not buckle , we will fight you because we want stability and peace in Pakistan , '' Qureshi said . `` You are on the run and we know that . We defeated you in Swat and Malakand . You think by attacking innocent people and lives you will shake our determination ? No , sir , you will not . '' The blast at the Meena Bazaar killed at least 90 people , most of them women , and injured more than 200 others , according to North West Frontier Province 's information minister . The market is a labyrinth of shops popular with women in the Peepal Mandi section of the city . The attack is the deadliest ever carried out in Peshawar , the capital of North West Frontier Province . Clinton arrived in Pakistan on Wednesday for a series of meetings with top Pakistani officials . Talking with reporters en route to the country , Clinton said she wants to `` turn the page '' on what has been , in the past few years , `` primarily a security-anti-terrorist agenda . '' `` We hold that to be extremely important , and it remains a very high priority , '' she said . `` But we also recognize that it is imperative that we broaden our engagement with Pakistan . '' Clinton said there have been `` a lot of misconceptions '' about American intentions . `` We have a relationship that we want to strengthen , but we do n't want it to be lopsided . We do n't want it to be just about security and just about our anti-terrorist agenda , '' she said . `` It is unfortunate that there are those who question our motives , who perhaps are skeptical that we are going to commit to a long-term relationship , and I want to try to clear the air up on that while I am in the country , '' she said .
