More than 70 people were wounded during the attacks which led to hundreds of Christian protesters clashing with police
Fourteen people were killed and more than 70 injured when two Taliban suicide bombers attacked churches in Pakistan on Sunday, sparking mob violence in which two other suspected militants died. The bombings occurred during prayers at two churches located around 0.3 miles apart in the Youhanabad district of Lahore city, a neighbourhood that is home to more than 100,000 Christians, officials said.
Dr Mohammad Saeed Sohbin, medical superintendent of the nearby General Hospital, said: “We have received 14 dead bodies and 70 injured,” adding that the figure did not include the suspected militants. Zahid Pervez, the top health official in Lahore, confirmed the death toll and told reporters that 78 people were wounded in both attacks.
