  • Story Text: Wounded victims of a suicide bombing on the Indian-Pakistani border cried out in pain as they were wheeled into a hospital in Lahore on Sunday (November 2).
    Pakistani police said the death toll at the border crossing had risen to 45.
    The Pakistani Taliban, through its senior commander Gilamn Mehsud, claimed responsibility for the attack.
    The bombing was carried out in response to the Pakistani army's operation against Islamist militants in the tribal areas straddling the Afghan border, he said
    The Indian side of the main border crossing between Pakistan and India was not affected by the suicide bomb on the Pakistani side, border security authorities said.
    Ashok Kumar, inspector general of India's Border Security Force, said the blast took place 500 meters from the Wagah border at about 6:15 PM local time.
