Gunmen killed at least 22 Shia Muslims and wounded 51 others at a religious service in the Pakistani city of Lahore yesterday. The Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, said could be an act of "foreign hands". Pakistan has often accused India of sponsoring terrorism to avenge Islamabad's support for militants fighting Indian rule in Kashmir.
