However, IG Punjab said that the blasts were of low intensity with the objective of spreading fear. He added that the blasts were in reaction to killing a militant in Multan earlier in the day.

“We killed a senior Taliban commander in Multan today, so we were expecting such kind of response from the terrorists. Although nobody has claimed this attack, we can’t rule out the retaliation,” police chief Habibur Rehman told AFP.

A source said that one of the bombs had been planted under a push-cart, while the second of the two blasts took place in the parking lot near the main gate to the fruit market.

What a great days we are having, still we don't want to act together against terrorists instead of blaming each other.

Paan singh saab there are already two threads running on this news... I am sorry to inform you, you are late!!

It is sad to see 23 people get injured during the holy month of Ramadan. We condemn this cowardly act by the terrorists who do not even respect the sanctity of this month of fasting. While we are glad that no life was lost, our prayers go out to the injured for a quick and full recovery.

Dear readers, we must realize that these terrorists who have infiltrated your cities have only one agenda: to spread fear and chaos. They do not care who they kill and they do not care which month of the year it is. We all have to realize that the only way to defeat them is to unite against them and give them no room to operate – just like with the group of terrorists who were arrested in Multan yesterday.

No, you got it all wrong AZ. He is saying we should drop bombs indiscriminately on people's houses, and use white phosphorus shells on our own people.
