Islamabad: Fifteen people were killed and nearly 80 more injured when two powerful blasts, believed to have been triggered by Taliban suicide bombers, ripped through a Christian neighbourhood in Lahore on Sunday. The explosions also triggered violence in the area. The Jamaat-al-Ahrar, a faction of the Pakistani Taliban, claimed responsibility for the attack that targeted the Roman Catholic Church and Christ Church in Youhanabad area at about 11.30am.
The blasts caused widespread panic and anger in the area, which is home to tens of thousands of Christians. A mob caught two men suspected of being involved in the attack and lynched them before setting their bodies on fire, police said. Television footage showed dozens of stick-wielding men, mostly belonging to the Christian community, ransacking the metro bus terminal in the city, Dawn online reported.
