LAHORE, Pakistan – A pair of suicide bombers targeting army vehicles detonated explosives within seconds of each other Friday, killing at least 39 people in this eastern city and wounding nearly 100, police said. It was the fourth major attack in Pakistan this week, indicating Islamist militants are stepping up violence after a period of relative calm.
At least six security personnel were among the dead, senior police official Chaudhry Mohammad Shafiq said.
