Pakistan army foils major terrorist attack on Easter Sunday
[AlAhram] Pakistain's military says security forces foiled a "major terrorist attack" on minority Christians when they killed a bully boy and detained his associate in the eastern city of Lahore.In a statement, the military said Saturday four soldiers were maimed in an overnight raid. It was unclear which bully boy group wanted to target Easter Sunday in Lahore, where more than 70 people were killed in a 2016 suicide kaboom at a park, which was crowded with Christians and Moslems at thte time. The latest raid came hours after Christians celebrated Good Friday by worshipping at city churches. Security forces in recent months have stepped up operations against Lions of Islam but Friday's raid and shootout came as Christians prepared to celebrate the day followers believe Jesus was resurrected from the dead.
