A bloody Easter
Sunday brings
Pakistan’s terror
threat home
For the Christian Community in
Pakistan’s second largest city, Lahore,
Easter Sunday was supposed to be
special. After attending church ser-
vices, families gathered in the vast
Gulshan-e-Iqbal park. Then the sui-
cide bomber struck, having made his
way to a nearby children’s swing set.
At least 72 people were killed
and more than 300 injured in Paki-
stan’s largest terrorist attack since
late 2014, when 145 people died in a
massacre at a Peshawar school. And
though Lahore’s oppressed Christian
community was the target, most of
those killed were Muslim. That didn’t
concern the militant Islamist group
Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a vicious offshoot of
the Pakistani Taliban, which claimed
responsibility. A spokesperson for the
group, which sees all non-Muslims
as potential targets, said the bomb
was calculated to show that it still re-
tained the ability to strike deep into
Pakistan’s heartland—particularly
Lahore, the political base of Prime
Minister Nawaz Sharif.
For terrorist groups like Jamaat-
ul-Ahrar, which has cells throughout
the province around Lahore, attacks
like the Easter Sunday bombing
are far easier to mount than strikes
against the troops fighting mili-
tants in Pakistan’s tribal areas. They
are aware that Pakistan’s Christian
community enjoys little protection.
“This is the softest of soft targets,”
says Ali Dayan Hasan, the former
Pakistan director for Human Rights
Watch. And the death toll, tragically,
showed it. —omar WaraiCh
