Deadly Twin Car Bombings Hit Pakistan's Eastern City of Lahore


Pakistani authorities say two suicide car bombings have killed at least 26 people and wounded 200 others in the eastern city of Lahore.

Rescuers are searching through smoldering rubble Tuesday to find survivors of the attacks.

The first bomb ripped the facade off the federal police agency and damaged nearby homes during the morning rush hour. At least 22 people were killed, including at least 12 agency employees.

Minutes later, a bomber blew up his car outside an advertising agency several kilometers away. Officials say at least four people were killed -- two of them children.

Officials say the second explosion happened in an upscale residential neighborhood, near the home of Asif Ali Zardari, the co-leader of the Pakistan People's Party.

No one has claimed responsibility.
