At least 14 people were killed when terrorists attacked their churches.

Officlals in Lahore, Pakistan said that at least 70 were wounded in the twin attacks.  One church was Catholic, the other was Protestant.

Geo TV reported that police stopped one of the bombers outside the church, forcing him to detonate outside killing one officer and wounding others.  The second bomber was able to enter the church and detonate in the middle of services.

“Islamist militants in Pakistan have attacked Christians and other religious minorities often over the last decade or more. Many Christians, who make up less than two percent of Pakistan’s population of more than 180 million, accuse the government of doing little to protect them, saying politicians are quick to offer condolences after an attack but slow to act to improve security,” Retuers reported.

The Pakistani Taliban, Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, claimed responsibility for the attacks and said they are planning to attack more churches.
