Deadly BLASTS Target CHURCHES In Pakistan

What Muslims Are Good At

From Reuters:
LAHORE, Pakistan (Reuters) - Bombs outside two churches in the Pakistani city of 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. 
Islamist militants in Pakistan have attacked Christians and other religious minorities often over the last decade or more. 
Many Christians accuse the government of doing little to protect them, saying politicians are quick to offer condolences after an attack but slow to take any concrete steps to improve security. 
Sunday's blasts occurred minutes apart in a majority Christian suburb of the eastern city. Police said it seemed they targeted two churches, one Catholic and one Protestant, that are very close to each other. 
After the explosions, enraged residents protested and lynched two suspects, police said. "I was sitting at a shop near the church when a blast jolted the area. 
I rushed toward the spot and saw the security guard scuffle with a man who was trying to enter the church. After failing, he blew himself up," said witness Amir Masih.
