Watch | Tragic aftermath of the Lahore suicide blast

A suicide bomber targeting Christians killed at least 70 people in a Lahore Park on Sunday. The attack was claimed by a Taliban faction called Jamaat-ul-Ahrar that once declared ties with Islamic State. The explosion took place near the children's rides in Gulshan-e-Iqbal park which was crowded with women and children enjoying an Easter weekend outing. The bodies continued to arrive at the city's hospital morgues early on Monday, where worried friends and family also looked for and registered loved ones still missing. Pakistani authorities have now launched a massive hunt for suspected militants.
