Gunmen attack mosques, kill at least 70 in Pakistan
LAHORE, Pakistan (Reuters) - Gunmen attacked worshippers from a minority Muslim sect in two mosques of the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore on Friday, taking hostages and killing at least 70 people, officials said.
The gunmen opened fire shortly after Friday prayers and threw what could have been grenades at two Ahmadi mosques in residential neighbourhoods in Pakistan's cultural capital.
Sajjad Bhutta, deputy commissioner of Lahore, said at least 70 people had been killed in the twin attacks on mosques in Garhi Shahu and Model Town. A total of 78 were injured.
The death toll at Garhi Shahu was higher, Bhutta said, because three attackers blew themselves up with suicide vests packed with explosives when police tried to enter the building.
Police are still searching the area as two attackers were still at large.
Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif said the incidents would generate greater resolve to combat extremism.
"It's a reminder to the nation that Pakistan will achieve its destiny only after we get rid of the worst type of extremism and fundamentalism," he told a news conference. "The entire nation will fight this evil."
He said one attacker had been arrested. Police in Model Town confirmed one gunmen had been arrested and another killed.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but suspicion quickly fell on the Pakistani Taliban.
"It's too early to say who is behind these attacks," said a Lahore-based security official. "But my guess is that like most other attacks, there would be some link to the Taliban or their associated militants."
Punjab's Law Minister Rana Sanaullah said the arrested attacker was a teenage Pashtun, an ethnic group making up the majority in parts of northern Pakistan and Afghanistan. This, he said, indicaed a link to the Pakistani tribal area of Waziristan and strongly hinted at a Taliban link.
"The prayer leader was giving a sermon when we heard firing and blasts. Everybody stood up and then two gunmen barged into the mosque and sprayed bullets," Fateh Sharif, a 19-year-old student, told Reuters from Model Town.
"They had long beards. They were carrying rucksacks."
Bhutta said a suicide vest laden with explosives was recovered from the Model Town mosque, where some attackers escaped. One fired at a television van before the area was made safe.
"He was young, clean-shaven. He sprayed bullets at our van while fleeing the scene," Rabia Mehmood, a reporter for Express Television, told Reuters.
ATTACKS LAUNCHED AFTER PRAYERS
Witnesses said the assaults were launched shortly after prayers.
"I saw some gunmen run towards the Ahmadis' place of worship and then I heard blasts and gunfire," Mohammad Nawaz, a resident, told Reuters.
Stock market investors shrugged off the latest violence.
"Initially we saw some selling after the attack but investors started accumulating shares at lower levels," said Asad Iqbal, chief executive at Faysal Asset Management Ltd adding that there was foreign buying which boosted local confidence.
The Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) benchmark 100-share index was up 0.75 percent at 9,511.75 points at 4:05 p.m. (12:05 p.m. British time).
Ahmadis are a minority Muslim sect founded in the late 19th century. They hold unorthodox beliefs among Muslims, including that Jesus Christ survived the crucifixion and died in Kashmir. Some also believe that prophets have come after Mohammad, the founder of Islam, but that he retains his primacy.
Pakistan is the only Muslim state to have declared Ahmadis non-Muslims. Its 4 million-odd members have seen their religious rights in overwhelmingly Muslim Pakistan curtailed by law.
Pakistan, a key U.S. ally in the fight against militancy, is often the scene of sectarian violence, with militants from Sunni Muslim groups attacking Shi'ite Muslim and Christian communities.

here's the recent news
Gunmen attack Pakistani mosques; 80 dead
Victims of Friday's deadly attacks on two Pakistani mosques were on Saturday buried separately after sect members cancelled a mass funeral for more than 80 people, fearing further attacks.
"We are not satisfied with the security arrangements. We have cancelled the mass funeral program," Salim-u-din, a spokesman for Lahore's Ahmadi community told AFP by telephone.
"We have dug a total of 93 graves and burials are under way. More than 30 bodies have been buried until now," the spokesman said.
Burials were also under way in Chinab Nagar, a town 160km west of Lahore and a spiritual centre for the Ahmadi community in Pakistan.
Officials in Lahore insisted that the death toll from Friday's attacks on two Ahmadi mosques in the city was unchanged.
"As per my record, 82 people have died, but we are collecting fresh information from the hospitals," Amin Chupra, an administrative official told AFP by telephone.
The victims were killed when suspected Sunni militants wearing suicide vests burst into prayer halls at the Garhi Shahu and Model Town mosques, firing guns, throwing grenades and taking hostages in Lahore's deadliest sectarian attack.
"We have been receiving threats for the last year," Qamar Suleman, a community leader told AFP at Garhi Shahu on Saturday.
The day after the attack the mosque was still scattered with broken glass and stained with blood and human flesh on its green carpet and walls.
"Three terrorists started spraying bullets, I can not explain that ... in words," said Ishaq Ahmed, a community volunteer at Garhi Shahu, where dozens of people were killed.
"I believed I would be killed as they could see me at any time," said Ahmed, who hid at the mosque's main gate when the attack began.
In Chinab Nagar, markets and bazaars remained closed and people were seen going in groups to the main graveyard, an AFP photographer said.
Ahmadis, who have been declared non-Muslim by Pakistan, may not be buried in Muslims graveyards, and the sect's main graveyard is in Chinab Nagar.
A city of eight million people, including two million members of the Ahmadi sect, Lahore has increasingly suffered Taliban and al-Qaeda-linked violence, with around 265 people killed in nine attacks since March 2009.
A historical city, Lahore is also a playground for Pakistan's elite and home to many top brass in its powerful military and intelligence establishment.
Founded by Ghulam Ahmad, who was born in 1838, the Ahmadi sect believes that Ahmad himself was a prophet and that Jesus died aged 120 in Srinagar, capital of Indian-ruled Kashmir.
A US State Department report on human rights says that 11 Ahmadis were killed for their faith in 2009.
Religious violence in Pakistan, mostly between majority Sunni Muslims and minority Shi'ites, has killed more than 4000 people in the past decade.
