Twin bombs rock Lahore at least 23 people killed

Mr. Victor Azariah (General Secretary - NCC Pakistan) LAHORE: At least 23 people including 13 FIA officials were killed and dozens others were injured when two bombs that ripped through a federal police headquarters adjacent to Caritas Building, Sacred Heart School, Saint Anthony School opposite the Roman Catholic Cathedral Church in the Pakistani city of Lahore on 11th March 2008 at 9:30 A.M.

One security guard of Caritas was killed; three school children and a number of people were severely injured.

The blasts were the latest in a wave of violence across Pakistan that has left more than 600 people dead this year and posed a serious challenge to an incoming coalition government that won elections on February 18.

The first attack demolished part of the federal investigation agency (FIA) office in the eastern Pakistani city, exposing the inside of the building and leaving piles of blackened rubble and burning cars.

Pools of blood and small pieces of human flesh lay scattered on the ground outside the eight-storey building, along with clothes and pairs of shoes that were abandoned by people as they ran away. The building was evacuated because of fears it could collapse.

The second near-simultaneous blast hit an advertising agency in an upscale neighborhood of the city killing another four people.
