Lahore attack

Published July 27, 2017

The country bleeds. Lahore has once again been brutally mauled by bloodthirsty, heartless and monstrous terrorists.

The gruesome act of terrorism killed 26 people, including nine policemen, and wounded more than 60 near Arfa Karim IT Tower. The Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), a leading terrorist organisation in the country, has claimed responsibility for it.

The army has achieved many successes against terrorism, and the people hope for the day when terrorists will be totally destroyed.
