BREAKING: Massive SUICIDE Bombing At Children’s Park- 65 Dead, Hundreds Injured… Here’s What We KnowDean James AMERICA’S FREEDOM FIGHTERS–We have terrible news to report on this Easter Sunday- at least 65 people were killed and over 280 people were injured in a suicide bombing at a park in Pakistan. Most of the victims are women and children.
The blast occurred in the parking lot near the children’s swings, according to Reuters.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast, which occurred in a busy residential area during the Easter holiday weekend. Police said it was not clear whether the attack had deliberately targeted mainly Muslim Pakistan’s small Christian minority.
Pakistan, a nuclear-armed nation of 190 million people, is plagued by a Taliban insurgency, criminal gangs and sectarian violence. Punjab is its biggest and wealthiest province.
Eyewitnesses said they saw body parts strewn across the parking lot once the dust had settled after the blast.
“When the blast occurred, the flames were so high they reached above the trees and I saw bodies flying in the air,” said Hasan Imran, 30, a resident who had come to Gulshan-e-Iqbal Park for a walk.
Salman Rafique, a health adviser for the Punjab provincial government, put the death toll at at least 60 people.
“There are more than 280 injured people,” Rafique said. “Many are in operation theaters now being treated and we fear that the death toll may climb considerably.”
Mustansar Feroz, police superintendent for the area in which the park is located, said most of the injured and dead were women and children.
