Lahore Blasts

.
Gunner both were planned attack against a section or separate attacks?

Both incidents are clearly aimed at the processions of Shias. The intent is obvious. Spark sectarian violence.

It's the work of LeJ again.
The death toll has risen to 18.
And the ploy seems to have worked, for now, as the people have done exactly what the terrorists wanted. Burning cars and a police station. It's quite possible that the riots were pre-planned and orchestrated as well.
However, Punjab govt has been quick to respond and has called in Rangers since the abilities of the police are well known.

Three bombs kill at least six in Lahore
LAHORE: Pakistani officials say three suicide bombs have exploded during a Shiite religious procession in Lahore, killing four people and wounding more than 80.

The explosions took place at three separate sites amid a traditional mourning procession.

Khusro Pervez, the top administrative official in Lahore, said six bodies had been brought to the morgue and 88 people had been hospitalised, but he warned the number of dead could rise.

After the blasts, the marchers erupted in fury and set fire to a police station and at least one police truck.

Footage of the first explosion shown on a news television showed a small blast erupting amid a crowd of people on the street followed by a large plume of smoke.

Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani condemned the blasts in a statement and said the attackers would not escape justice.—AgenicesDAWN.COM | Pakistan | Three bombs kill at least six in Lahore

Triple bomb blasts hit Lahore Shia procession

The blast took place in the middle of a procession of Shia Muslims
At least 18 people have died and more than 100 been injured after three bombs exploded during a Shia procession in the Pakistani city of Lahore.

The head of Lahore police, Aslam Pareen, told the BBC that at least two of the attacks were suicide bombings.

Local TV footage of the first blast showed a small explosion in the crowd, followed by panic as people fled.

Lahore has been the scene of sectarian violence between Sunni and Shia Muslims in recent months.

However, there has been a lull in such attacks in the past month, as floods devastated Pakistan.



According to Mr Pareen, at least 35 of the people hurt in the blast were critically injured.


In the aftermath of the blasts vehicles were torched by angry members of the public
The procession at which the explosions took place was being held to mark the death in the 7th Century of the first Shia imam, Ali bin Abi Talib.

Thousands of Shia Muslims had taken to the streets of Lahore for the occasion.

Following the explosions, angry members of the public turned on police, attacking officers and facilities.

Mr Pareen told the BBC that on the outskirts of the city at least one police station and one police truck had been set on fire.

Other vehicles in the city were also torched.

Mr Pareen said that police had fired tear gas in an attempt to control the crowds.

Third one was a suicide bombing.

>20 mn affected by flood. Nation in tatters & these monsters are on their rampage.

Everybody congratulate our jihadi jurnails who bred these sectarian monsters. Our lives, peace, everything ruined.

Thanks to the foreign forces in Afghanistan, who have created, trained and financed these TTP menace out of kidnapped Afghani children.

They are protected in Afghanistan and black sheeps in our society are giving them cover.
