In Pakistan, at least thirty-nine people have been killed and nearly 100 injured in a double suicide bombing in the city of Lahore. A number of army vehicles were targeted and at least six Pakistani service members were among the dead. It’s the latest in a series of deadly militant attacks that have spiked since the Pakistani government launched a major offensive near the Afghan border in October. This week militants have also struck a government building used to interrogate suspects, killing at least thirteen people, as well as the office of the US-based Christian charity World Vision, killing six.
