One suicide bomb hit the Federal Investigation Agency office. "Pakistan: Death toll mounts after suicide blasts hit Lahore," from AKI (thanks to all who sent this in):
Lahore, 11 March(AKI) - More than 24 people have been killed and dozens others injured after at least two bombs exploded in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore on Tuesday.The blasts, believed to have been carried out by suicide bombers, were the latest in a wave of violence across Pakistan that has left more than 600 people dead this year.
According to Pakistan's Geo TV, the first attack demolished part of the federal investigation agency (FIA) office in the city, exposing the interior of the building.
A police official said that the blast was a suspected suicide attack.
"We believe the suicide attacker came in a vehicle and hit the reception counter. We have recovered only a few pieces of the car which was used in the attack," investigations superintendent Babur Bakht Qureshi said.
Bodies lay on the ground outside the eight-storey building and police cordoned off the area while emergency workers tried to rescue the injured.
The building was evacuated because of fears it could collapse, television channels reported.
Soon after the attack, a second blast hit an advertising agency in an upscale neighbourhood of the city killing another four people, Qureshi said....
Seems attacks are up since the push to get rid of Musharref.
Them's the breaks.
Muslims are the biggest victims of Islam.
A little lymerick
Another big bomb in Lahore
Leaves the ground covered in gore.
The old Muslim ruse
Of blaming the Jews
Will gurantee there will be more.
Each of us has the strength to bear another's misfortune. Even more so when that misfortune besets Islam.

Maybe so, but it's harder and harder to weep for these "victims". They're also the ones who benefit from Islam. Their creed tells them the world is theirs alone - and they agree.
Muslims are the biggest victims of Islam.
Perhaps, but you risk to have YOUR head lopped off if you try to tell them that.
As long as they do it in pakiland and not in the West. why do our politicians not understand that the conditions these people spring from will follow them no matter where they go?
Evil is what Evil does.
If the Taliban win in Pakistan somebody besides the Pakistanies will also suffer greatly as they will use the nukes available upon conquest. The most likely are the Hindus in India, however, a nuke laden freight ship in Washington DC or London is just as likely.
America and the west need to wise up their strategy and use their enemies to fight each other rather than directly confronting each evil. The devil only cares that he gets his souls not where they come from. Islamic societies by using hate and violence to control their people have made a deal with the devil and he wants his souls in return.
Naseem was never one to go quietly - perhaps he is the mystery martyr. All for the cause of Isloom-and-Doom and the gateway to hell.

Hard to feel sorry for "victims" who are supposed to be the majority yet do NOTHING to silence the minority who wreak havoc on them and the world.
Hmmm...lets see. According to appologists the Islamo-loosers are a very small percentage of the Muslim population.
Well... at a total of 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide, if that "small percentage" is only 10% of the population then that still leaves 1,499,500,000 Muslims that can DO SOMETHING about the Islamo-looser problem.
The REALITY...
Looks like the real victims are the ones that are a minority. Based on the proof -the images that come out of the middle east DAILY of Muslims celebrating massacres, chanting "Death to America" & "Israel" & the "West", the endless supply of suicide bombers, the indoctrination camps, the vile leadership, the rabid intollerance to anything NOT Islam and the RELUCTANCE to denounce any of it....I'd say the stats look more like this:
1.5 billion Muslims =
10% Innocents
50% Islamo-loosers
40% SYMPATHISERS that SUPPORT whats going on and are just as bad.
Subsidize jihad and you get more jihad.
"Political Islam" was the card playable be leftist adventurers who can't comprehend what would happen to a communist atheist in an islamic tyranny. And Bush played it. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.
My daughter's poly-sci prof says the US is practicing imperialism in Pakistan, which is why they're killing each other over there. Uncle Sam made me do it, or was it Allah?
Unfortunately, I don't think we are.
Pakistan: Nukes and kooks. Gadzooks!

As well they deserve to be.
We may pass high-toned laws against collective punishment, but reality is not so forgiving.
Build a rotten culture and you'll torment yourselves to death. That's how it works.
Innocents and all.
Stinks don't it?
jsla,
Great limerick posted above.
