(Lahore) Easter Sunday the holiest day in the Christian calender and in Pakistan hundreds of people (primarily Christian) descended on Gulshan-e-Iqbal park in which to enjoy their day. Unfortunately for these people, the Pakistani Taliban decided to take no notice of their codex "The Koran" which states that Christians (like the jews) are people of the book and thus tolerance and autonomy is accorded to them in societies
governed by sharia. which is why they detonated a suicide bomb metres away from a children's play area which has killed at least 72 people and injured hundreds more.
Jamaat ul-Ahrar, claimed responsibility and said Christians
were the target.
“The target were Christians,” a spokesman for the faction, Ehsanullah Ehsan, told Reuters. “We want to send this message to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif that we have entered Lahore. He can do what he wants, but he won’t be able to stop us. Our suicide bombers will continue these attacks.”
