Pakistan: 15 people killed in Taliban attack on Lahore churches, claimed by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan’s Jamaat-ul-Ahrar faction
At least 15 people were killed and more than 70 injured when two Taliban suicide bombers attacked churches in Lahore on Sunday, sparking mob violence in which two other suspected militants died.
The bombings occurred during prayers at two churches located around half a kilometre apart in the city’s Youhanabad neighbourhood that is home to more than 100,000 Christians, officials said.
Broken window panes, blood and shoes were scattered across the blast sites.
