Assailants with guns and grenades have attacked
two mosques in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore, killing at least 60
people.
The assaults on mosques of the minority Ahmadi sect wounded scores
more in different residential neighbourhoods shortly after Friday
prayers, police said.

Officers were involved in a gun battle with
fighters outside one of the mosques in the city's Garhi Shahu district.

TV footage showed that one assailant appeared to
have clambered atop the minaret of one of the mosques and to throw hand
grenades.
"Terrorists have attacked mosques. They are firing and using
grenades. They have taken people inside the mosque hostage," Muzhar
Ahmed, a district civil defence official, told the AFP news agency from
Garhi Shahu.
