Pakistani Christians clash with police over church attacks
None
Pakistani police fired tear gas on Monday after Christian protesters clashed with police in the eastern city of Lahore, a day after Taliban bombers killed 17 people in suicide attacks on two churches in the city.
Sunday's twin bombings struck in quick succession in the Christian neighborhood of Youhanabad during morning services. The bombers detonated their suicide vests outside the two churches, about 600 meters (650 yards) apart. At least 70 people were wounded in the attacks, the latest assault on religious minorities in this increasingly fractured country. After the attacks, angry Christian mobs blocked the highway, ransacked bus terminals and burned two people to death who they suspected of being involved in the bombings. Christian demonstrators also blocked roads Monday in the eastern cities of Faisalabad, Sargodha and Gujranwala.
