World at One

Available for over a year

The Pakistan military has made several arrests and seized weapons in a big security operation in Punjab province, following the bombing at a park in Lahore in which more than 70 people were killed. Christians were targeted in the atrocity and the Pope has condemned it as a "vile and senseless" crime. Omar Waraich, from Time magazine, says the attack was carried out by an extreme off-shoot of the Pakistan Taliban. (Photo: Scene of the Lahore attack. Credit: European Photopress agency)
