Four small bombs exploded outside a theatre and near a major government building in an eastern Pakistan city late last night, but there were no casualties, police said.The explosions spurred panic in Lahore, a cultural hub that has largely escaped the scores of suicide and other bomb attacks that have bedevilled Pakistan in the past two years. The blasts occurred near the building housing the Punjab province assembly and the Al-Falah Theatre.
"These were four, locally made, low-intensity timed devices," senior police official Haider Ashraf said. "Two of them had been planted in the power plant of the theatre. Another two exploded at the main gate."
He said no one was hurt or wounded.
