LAHORE: At least six people, including four soldiers, were martyred on Wednesday in what is believed to be a suicide blast targeting a census team on Lahore’s Bedian road.

Eighteen others were also injured in the explosion on Manawala Chowk.

Initial reports suggested the explosion was caused by a cylinder blast. However, sources claimed it was a suicide blast. Punjab government has said the exact nature of blast is yet to be ascertained.

Punjab government spokesperson Malik Ahmed Khan told a private news channel that four soldiers and two civilian bystanders were among the martyred. TV footage showed security personnel blocking off the street around the site of the explosion, close to a market.

A suicide bomber killed at least six people and wounded 18 when he blew himself up near an army vehicle in Lahore, Reuters quoted police officials as saying. The blast hit a vehicle taking part in the country’s census, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to talk to the media.

إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعون. Looks like TTP has moved their base to rural areas. Zarb e Azb was never going to end terrorism anyways.
 
RIP all victims :(

Sadly this is never ending, hope everyone is safe because these animals launch series of attacks usually.

Some media sections are reporting this cylinder blast which seems like a cover up.

It will end some day. Things have gotten better compared to 2009 and 2010. We just need to make sure that we have long term solutions for the areas cleared from TTP. Government should also stop giving delusional statements like they have broken the backs of terrorists and realise the threat is still there.
 
so PM sahib opens the border and lo and behold two attacks in no time..the man is a security threat but alas..
 
Firstly,May Allah give Jannat to the soldiers and patience to their families.
These battles are won and lost with detailed intelligence about who the leaders are and who funds them. There is no doubt that our intelligence services were complicit in the development of these cretins and hence should have lots of information about the leadership. Look at the way the Americans eliminated the AQ leadership and support networks. Gen Sharif did a good job but it needs to continue.
 
Inna lillahi wa inna ilahi raji'oon

May Allah grant Jannah to all the Shaheed.



This is so unfortunate, but not unimaginable. Two attacks in the space of a week, few days after opening the border. Thank you Nawaz Sharif.

Well if you make stupid decisions like opening the Afghan border then don't cry when such things happen. I always was and will be in favour of closing it down until Afghanistan hands over the terrorists to us. Thing is most are brain washed by Imran Khan so him saying borders should remain open must never be questioned by anyone. No wonder they call him Taliban Khan.
