Lahore bombing targets Christians

The explosion took place near the children’s rides in Gulshan-e-Iqbal park, according to local police chief Haider Ashraf. He says the explosion appears to have been a suicide bombing, but investigations are ongoing.

The area was crowded with Christians celebrating the Easter holidays, and many families were leaving the park when the blast occurred, Ashraf says.
