At least eleven persons were killed and sixty others injured in deadly blast
that rocked Lahore on Monday, Mar 8.
The blast occurred near a building of a Federal Investigative Agency (FIA) in
the Model Town  Area. It was a suicide car bomb.
Pakistan TV reports said a car laden with explosives had rammed into the FIA
building. Some adjacent buildings also were damaged in the explosion.
There have been a number of explosions in Lahore over the past year.
Last December, two bomb blasts at a busy market killed at least 48 people and
injured over 100 people. And in May 2009, a bomb blast at a police building
killed at least 23 people and injured 200. The nearby offices of the ISI
intelligence service were damaged in the blast.
