LAHORE: Twin blasts rocked the Roman Catholic Church and Christ Church in Lahore's Youhanabad area. Both churches have high attendance on Sundays on account of mass.
Initial reports suggest two suicide bombers carried out the attack.
Youhanabad is the country’s biggest Christian locality, housing at least one million people. The Christian community in Pakistan has long been the target of attacks and hate crimes carried out by extremist elements.
In 2013, twin suicide attacks were carried out at the All Saint’s Church in Peshawar’s Kohati Gate area, killing 80 and wounding over 100 others.
Major developments
1:10pm - Three policemen taken hostage by enraged crowd
- Suicide bombers blew themselves up at the gate of two churches
- At least ten people have died in the attack
- TTP splinter group Jamatul Ahrar claims responsibility for the attack
- One young man was lynched by the enraged mob
Enraged protesters hold three policemen captive at a shop, who were allegedly watching a cricket match instead of performing their duties at the time of attack.
The mob has apparently held the policemen in a shop for the last two hours.
1:03pm - Eyewitness account
“I was sitting at a shop near the church when a blast jolted the area. I rushed towards the spot and saw the security guard scuffle with a man who was trying to enter the church, after failing, he blew himself up,” said witness Amir Masih.
“I saw his body parts flying through the air...the guard died as well", he said.
It was not clear if the first blast was also a suicide bomber, Masih said.
1:00pm - Protest against PM, CM
Protesters have launched a demonstration outside General Hospital against the Punjab government. Sloganeering continues against the PM and CM.
The enraged protesters demand accountability, and say proper security was not provided to the churches.
