LAHORE/ISLAMABAD, Pakistan*(Reuters) - A suicide bomber killed at least 65 people, mostly women and children, at a park in Lahore on Sunday in an attack claimed by a Pakistani Taliban faction which said it had targeted Christians.

More than 300 other people were wounded, officials said.

I think it's quite sad. Pakistan has a real issue with the Taliban and they haven't got it under control. Before they may have been pillaging the Pashtun countryside but now they are going for (relatively) normal urban centers.

I just hope they don't spread into India. The fact they have reached a bigger city is a problem.

Rest in peace to all the innocents.

Best wishes to the three hundred plus wounded.

This is incredibly disheartening.

Pakistan needs to get a handle on the bonding going on within the nation with the terrorists. They're doing much more harm to their own country than others.
R.I.P. all the victims. Sad news :/

The police/army are now getting special powers to attempt to handle the situation apparently.
