Twin suicide attack kills 39 in Lahore: police
 
LAHORE: Twin suicide attacks seconds apart targeted the Pakistani military Friday, killing 39 people in the second attack to hit security forces in the country's cultural capital this week.



The bombers walked up to Pakistani army vehicles in the densely populated R A Bazaar area of Lahore, blowing themselves up as people sat down to eat before the Friday prayers were to begin, a senior official said.



The bombers targeted the cantonment of Lahore, an area home to army officials and military installations, as well as hospitals and schools run by the military. The area includes civilian homes, shops and restaurants.



Mohammad Nadeem, a young man in his 20s whose white shalwar khamis was stained with blood down the front, told AFP he was saying prayers in the mosque when he heard the first blast and rushed out.



“I saw people crying and running in different directions. They were panicked,” he said.



“The second blast took place very near a military vehicle. I sensed real danger and started running.



“There were scenes of destruction in nearby restaurants and shops. There were broken chairs and tables and other items lying everywhere on the ground.”The army cordoned off the tree-lined street with security officials saying at least five soldiers were among those killed when the twin blasts shattered windows and sent debris flying from nearby buildings.



“Thirty-nine people were killed and 95 wounded in the attacks,” Tariq Saleem Dogar, the Punjab provincial police chief, told reporters on live TV.


“We have collected concrete technical evidence, which will help identify the attackers,” he added.



There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but Pakistan's mainstream Taliban faction claimed a suicide attack Monday that destroyed offices used to interrogate militant suspects, killing 15 people, and pledged further attacks.



“We have the heads of both the bombers. There was an interval of 15 seconds between the two attacks. They were on foot. Their target was army vehicles,”added police official Chaudhry Mohammad Shafiq.

may allah the great send angels to save us.
Our intelligence agencies are stupid group of idiot people.
They are easily fooled by the enemies because their vigilance has shitted to power thirst rather than the defense of the country.

May allah make them realize their true duty.
Aameen sumammeen.

And now there is a third one in Moon Market about 15 minutes ago.
May Allah save our country from these terrorists!

Another bomb blast in lahore.
Despite nationalist and strong patriotic sentiments, this is first time i am compelled to think that i should leave this country.
This country has nothing for me. No present, no future.
And look at the leadership. Bickering at each other whether swiss cases should be opened or not. Those who say that nations' money should be returned back are caught stealing electricity. Those advocating for corruption-free Pakistan are themselves corrupt (imagine CMs of Sindh and NWFP have given just 15000 each in taxes in last three years and yet they are asking people to give taxes).
There is no one whom we trust.Media, no. Judiciary,no. Ater all, what changes have they brought in this country? Nothing. Situation has gone from bad to worse. When things will start getting better? No glimpse of hope.
And here is the nation. If someone is saved from hunger, he is killed in suicide attacks. While our leadership has not decided yet what to do with this problem.
Ager hum iss leadership ko bardasht ker bhi lain tu next kia hoga? Well, Hamza Shahbaz Shareef and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari are waiting anxiously for their turn.
There is nothing left in this country. Nothing.
