Two bombs hit Shiite march in Lahore

LAHORE: Police say two time bombs have exploded during a Shiite religious procession in Lahore. At least 20 people were wounded in the blasts and a subsequent stampede.

The explosions took place in two separate sites amid a traditional mourning procession.

Senior police officer Zulfiqar Hameed said the blasts came from low-intensity time bombs.

Footage of the first explosion shown on a news television showed a small blast erupting amid a crowd of people on the street followed by a large plume of smoke.—AP
