14 Worshippers Die, 70 Wounded As Two Deadly Blasts Hit Pakistan Churches Today


At least 14 people have been killed and dozens more wounded today in bombings targeted at two churches in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore, a Roman Catholic Church and a Christ Church in Lahore's Youhanabad area. 70 people were wounded, and 14 died, a health official said.

Jamaat-ur-Ahrar, a Pakistani Taliban (TTP) splinter group, has already claimed responsibility for both attacks.

The group appeared to have timed the attacks to cause maximum devastation, as the two churches were packed with Christians attending Sunday services when the bombs went off. According to the group it was carried out by two suicide bombers. It stills beat me how people volunteer themselves to die.
