Pakistan: Attack on Park Kills At Least 70, Many of Them Children

In Pakistan, a Taliban splinter group has claimed responsibility for an attack on a crowded amusement park in Lahore that killed at least 70 people, many of them children, and wounded at least 300. The attack in Pakistan’s second largest city came as members of the minority Christian community gathered to celebrate Easter Sunday. A spokesperson for the attackers said they targeted Christians, but most of those killed were actually Muslim. Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has vowed to ramp up efforts to "wipe [terrorists] from this country." The Pakistani army has arrested a number of people in multiple raids.
