London: March 28, 2016. (PCP) A powerful bomb blast rocked Pakistan's eastern city of Lahore today on Easter Sunday evening. The blast is believed to have killed over 60 people and to have injured over 200 local police have said. The explosion took place inside a children's park known as Gulshan-i-Iqbal at Iqbal Town. A large number of families, especially women and children, were present when the blast took place Many of these are believed to be Christians as it is a common tradition for families to go to a local funfair to celebrate the birth of Christ after their Easter devotions. Casualties have been taken to local hospitals including Lahore General Hospital which does not have a special burns unit. It is believed the attack took place during the celebrations of Easter in an attempt to target Christians. Distraught family members have gathered outside local hospitals and the government has announced a three day mourning period. The targeting of Christians in this attack has been ignored by Pakistan's media who seem intent on hiding the fact that this occurs in their country. Instead of referring to the twin bomb attack at a Peshawar Church 19th September 2013that killed over 100 Christians injuring a further 123, or the Lahore bomb attack of 15th March 2015that killed over 30 people and left 60 injured and was not too far from this most recent attack by either date or vicinity, they have opted to relate this incident to the the Peshawar gun attack waged at a school for military children of Muslim faith. However, this act of violence was intended for one purpose to target and kill Christians considered anathema in Pakistan. Pakistan is a nuclear-armed nation of 190 million people, is plagued by a Taliban insurgency, criminal gangs, anti-Christian and sectarian violence. Punjab is its biggest and wealthiest province. Lahore has the largest population of Christians of any city in Pakistan. Already Christian families have informed us of death and injury to their family members. Brave Naveed Aziz travelled immediately to the site of the attack and heard disturbing accounts of the injuries sustained by victims. Body parts were thrown all over the site and the smell of burning flesh lingered and still pervades in the air around the site. The site has been secured by the local police and army but news teams have gathered outside and are hovering for any eye witness stories. One young man Husnain spoke of the terror he felt. He and his family had just started walking away from the fun park and were travelling home to get some rest so they could get up early in the morning to help with the clearing up of their church. As they started back a loud bang erupted and they were thrown to the ground. He said: "Fortunately none of us were injured badly but I remember feeling this sudden eruption of searing heat that quickly dissipated. In the ensuing panic children were separated from their families as they ran in a panic not knowing what to do. All I could hear was screaming and shouting people came to help the
