At least 8 martyred, several injured in Raiwind suicide blast on police check post
2018-03-15
[DAWN] At least eight persons, including five coppers, bit the dust and 20 others were maimed in a suicide kaboom which targeted a police check post in Raiwind on the outskirts of Lahore, Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....

Health Minister Salman Rafique told DawnNewsTV.

Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Operations Dr Haider Ashraf confirmed that it was a suicide kaboom which destroyed a police check post located on Raiwind Road leading towards the ground where ijtima (congregation) of Tableeghi Jamaat is held.

The police camp was set up for the security of an ongoing congregation of Tableeghi Jamaat.

The senior police official said initial reports suggest that a cycle of violence was used to carry out the suicide attack, adding that investigations were underway out to identify and locate the accomplices of the alleged suicide attacker.

Moreover, evidence was collected by the Bomb Disposal Squad from the site of the blast for further investigation.

DIG Ashraf said body parts of the jacket wallah were recovered from the kaboom site and sent to the forensic lab for further examination.

The senior police official stressed that if the suicide attacker had managed to enter the congregation site, the corpse count could have been much higher.
The Times of Israel adds that TTP claimed responsibility, saying it was a sucide attack.
