An explosion ripped through a crowded Pakistan park where Christians were celebrating Easter on Sunday, killing at least 60 people, officials told the Associated Press.
About 300 people were injured when a bomb detonated in the parking area of Gulshan-e-Iqbal Park in the eastern city of Lahore. A suicide bomber is suspected of being responsible for the blast, though authorities continue to investigate.
The explosion reportedly occurred just outside the exit gate and near rides for children.
"When the blast occurred, the flames were so high they reached above the trees and I saw bodies flying in the air," Hasan Imran, 30, told Reuters.
A police superintendent said most of the dead were women and children, according to Reuters. Salman Rafiq, an adviser to the chief minister of Punjab province, said many of the wounded were in a critical condition.

Coming to each of us from our friendly local neighborhood mosque.
Hmmm, we definitely need more Muslims in this country, not enough explosions going on here........
Horrible. And you can be sure those points will be omitted from anything the Pope or Obama have to say about this.
The moderates now just need to show us moderation by winning some elections in the middle east and transforming the theocracies into countries that respect the individual freedom of religion.
WASH YOUR KEYBOARD OFF WITH SOAP, YOUR MIND OF A SPOTTED ADDER, AND YOUR FILTHY MOUTH, TOO! You’re being culturally insensitive. After all, Mudslime mass murder is nothing but a sacrament of their religion, just like communion for Christians.
9 Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lieindeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. . . .
10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
11 Behold, I am coming quickly!
“Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
I wonder if the Christians being there to celebrate Easter had any bearing on this?
Father forgive them, for they know not what they do. - no, they know exactly what they are doing...........
All American flags should be at half staff until January 17 2017
Perps need to be fed to pigs. Only solution to this behavior.
The media will mention this today, but the story will evaporate by tomorrow because as we all know, Obama completely fixed everything over there in Afghanistan and Pakistan (and Libya, Egypt, etc.).
“Yup, and the dopey Pope says we should love these people who murder Christians.”
Christ said we should love our enemies and pray for them. Matthew 5:44.
I apologize if I cannot forgive the guy with the knife who is doing the work of the devil.
RIP to the victims of Satanism.
We must forgive to be forgiven: Matthew 6:15, Mark 11:26.
That does not mean we give in to evil. Don’t confuse one action with the other.
