Bomb attacks kill 14 at churches in Pakistan

Bombs outside two churches in Lahore killed 14 people and wounded nearly 80 during Sunday services, and witnesses said quick action by a security guard prevented many more deaths.

A Pakistani Taliban splinter group claimed responsibility.

Many Christians, who make up less than 2% of Pakistan’s population of more than 180m, accuse the government of doing little to protect them, saying politicians are quick to offer condolences after an attack but slow to improve security.
