Pakistan LE has launched a paramilitary crackdown on Islamist militants in the wake of bomb which killed 72 people on Sunday, as extremists took to the streets demanding Sharia law is introduced.
The massacre took place in a Lahore park on Easter Sunday. While most of the fatalities were Muslims, the terrorist group's primary target was reportedly Christians. Very sad; 29 children are among the dead. RIP.
'Our resolve as a nation and as a government is getting stronger and (the) coward enemy is trying for soft targets,' Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said in a statement from his office after visiting victims in the hospital and extending condolences to victims' families.
Security and government officials have made a decision to launch a full-scale paramilitary Rangers operation, giving them powers to conduct raids and interrogate terror suspects in the same way as they have been in the southern city of Karachi for more than two years.
The move, which has not yet been formally announced, represents the civilian government once again granting special powers to the military in order to fight Islamist militants.
