25 Killed In Pakistan Intelligence Office Bombing
The Washington Post reports:
A spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban asserted responsibility for the attack and said it was aimed at the intelligence office, the Associated Press reported.
Police said the bomb, which was detonated at a gas station, sparked additional explosions of natural gas cylinders, compounding the damage. The blast destroyed parts of several businesses, including an office of the national airline, and wounded at least 100 people.
Sectarian violence is common in Faisalabad, Pakistan's third-largest city and a textile-producing hub, but Tuesday's blast was the first major militant attack there.
