Lahore blasts a warning to Pakistani army

Serial bomb blasts ripped through Lahore on Friday, killing 45 people and injuring more than 100.

The Punjabi Taliban is believed to be behind the attack that targeted army vehicles as a possible warning to stop the military against the Taliban.

"Two suicide attacks occurred here, within 15 seconds of each other. The suicide bombers hit two vehicles belonging to CSF," said Provincial Law Minister Rana Sana Ullah.

The attack near a mosque in the crowded RA Bazaar area seemed aimed at patrolling army vehicles.

The bazaar is in the cantonment and at least 10 army personnel were listed among those dead. The attack appeared to be the work of suicide bombers whose severed heads have been recovered.
