12 Jun 2009
Suicide bombers attacked two separate targets in Pakistan in assaults in Lahore and the North-West Frontier province. A suicide bomber attacked the Jamia Naeemia religious school in the Garhi Shahu area of Lahore. The explosion occurred shortly after Friday afternoon prayer services as parishioners were gathered outside the main mosque building. At least four people were reportedly killed in the attack, including the school's principal. The other suicide bombing was reported around the same time near a military storage area in the town of Nowshera, located approximately 60 miles west of Islamabad in the North-West Frontier province. Police officers stated that at least 32 people were injured when the bomber detonated his explosives at the military depot.
