In Pakistan, a suicide attack targeting a protest in Lahore killed at least 13 people Tuesday. Jamaat-ur-Ahrar, a breakaway faction of the Pakistani Taliban, claimed responsibility for the attack, which also wounded more than 80 people. It struck a rally of hundreds of pharmacists and drug manufacturers who were protesting against government regulations of drugs. This is Lahore resident Hassan Babur.
Hassan Babur: “There was peace and tranquillity in Lahore recently, but yesterday’s incident once again shook people’s hearts. It showed that these things, incidents of terrorism, have started taking place once again.”
