Lahore: The group behind the attack

The Pakistan military has made several arrests and seized weapons in a big security operation in Punjab province, following the bombing at a park in Lahore in which more than 70 people were killed.

Christians were targeted in the atrocity and the Pope has condemned it as a "vile and senseless" crime.

Omar Waraich, from Time magazine, says the attack was carried out by an extreme off-shoot of the Pakistan Taliban.
