At least 55 persons, including three Pakistan Rangers personnel and a child, were killed and 200 others injured when a suicide bomber blew himself up near Wagah in Lahore today, minutes after the popular flag-lowering ceremony at the main India-Pakistan land border crossing.
Punjab police chief Mushtaq Sukhera said the suicide bomber, believed to be 18 to 20 years old, targeted a large crowd that had come to watch the weekly parade and the flag-lowering ceremony. The attacker approached one of the exit gates as the crowd was vacating the parade area and blew himself up, he said, adding, three Pakistan Rangers personnel were also among the dead.
The injured were rushed to nearby hospitals and an emergency was declared at all hospitals in Lahore.
