At least 60 people, including 11 women and
three security personnel, were killed and nearly
200 injured when a suicide attacker detonated
a powerful bomb at Wagah in Pakistan on
Sunday, minutes after the popular flag-lowering
ceremony at the main Indo-Pak land border
crossing.
"A large number of people were returning after
watching Rangers flag ceremony at Wagah
border when a suicide bomber blew himself up
near one of the exit gates," Inspector General
Police of Punjab Police Mushtaq Sukhera said.
He said three Pakistani Rangers were also
among the dead.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly
condemned a suicide attack in Wagah border in
Pakistan, terming it as a "shocking" and "a
dastardly act of terrorism".
He expressed condolences to the families of
the deceased and sent prayers for the injured.
"Terror attack in Pakistan near Wagah border
is shocking," Modi tweeted.
"I strongly condemn such a dastardly act of
terrorism," he added.
