10 killed in blast at Pakistan park where Christians were celebrating Easter

At least 10 people have been killed and 30 wounded in a blast in a park in the eastern city of Lahore, police in Pakistan said. Senior police officer Haider Ashraf says the explosion took place on Sunday in the parking area of Gulshan-e-Iqbal park. He said the explosion appeared to have been a suicide bombing, but investigations were ongoing. He said the area was crowded because Christians are celebrating the Easter holiday and many families were leaving the park when the blast occurred. He says the death toll could still rise as many of the wounded were in a critical condition.
