Suspected Taliban militants on Friday unleashed a fresh wave of terror in Pakistan storming three security facilities in Lahore in near-simultaneous attacks and carried out a suicide bombing at a police station in northwestern Kohat city, leaving at least 41 people dead.
At least 20 people - 16 security personnel and four civilians -- were killed in attacks on an office of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and two police training facilities in Lahore by three groups of terrorists between 9.15 am and 9.40 am local time, police said.
Ten of the attackers were gunned down by security forces or blew themselves up. Nearly 40 people were injured in all the attacks.
In Kohat, 11 people died when the suicide bomber rammed his explosives-laden vehicle into the police station in Kohat.
Witnesses said the bomber slammed his vehicle into the outer wall of the police station, causing a massive blast.
