Pakistan is place where religion beats humanity
Enraged crowd at yohana-Abad , lahore set two men on fire after the crowd suspected them as persons who were suicide bombers but later on it proved that two burned persons were innocent, one out of them was a resident of KASUR ,district. News details tells that Fourteen people were killed and 78 injured in bomb attacks carried out on two churches in Lahore as extremists continue to target Christians in the fractured country.

Parishioners were celebrating Sunday service when the two churches – around 600 metres apart – in the Christian neighbourhood of Youhana Abad were attacked in close succession, AP reports.

Since the attack this morning, Reuters reports, a Pakistani Taliban splinter group known as Jamaat-ul-Ahrar has already claimed responsibility.

One eye-witness praised the quick-thinking of a security guard, who he believed saved lives by stopping who he believes to be the bomber entering one of the churches shortly before the second blast.

"I was sitting at a shop near the church when a blast jolted the area. I rushed towards the spot and saw the security guard scuffle with a man who was trying to enter the church. After failing, he blew himself up," witness Amir Masih told Reuters.

The security guard was also killed, he said. Masih said it was unclear if the first blast was also triggered by a suicide bomber.

One unidentified witness told Pakistan's Geo television that the main gate to one of the churches targeted was closed so people were using a smaller gate.

"One bomber exploded himself near that gate, that created chaos and during the course there was another blast," he said.

Fourteen people have been confirmed dead and at least 78 were wounded, said Zahid Pervez, the provincial director general of health.
