Pakistan Ahmadis bury Lahore mosque attacks victims

Mourners in Pakistan have buried the 93 victims of co-ordinated attacks by gunmen on two mosques of the minority Ahmadi Islamic sect in Lahore. The attackers fired guns and threw grenades at worshippers during Friday prayers. Three militants later blew themselves up and two were captured. An Ahmadi leader called for greater government protection after the attacks by suspected Taliban militants. Lahore has been the scene of a string of brazen attacks. The victims were buried in Rabwah, the religious headquarters of the Ahmadi community. Security was tight at the two mosques on Saturday. A day earlier, several attackers, armed with AK-47 rifles, shotguns and grenades, held people hostage briefly inside a mosque in the heavily built-up Garhi Shahu area.
