11 killed and 60 injured in bombing in Pakistan

A large bomb blast has ripped through a protest rally in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore, killing at least 11 people and wounding nearly 60 in an attack claimed by a breakaway Taliban faction.

The blast occurred when a man on a motorbike rammed into the crowd of hundreds of pharmacists, who were protesting over new amendments to a law governing drug sales, local police official Zaheer Abbas said.
