Pakistan Ahmadis bury Lahore mosque attacks victims
Mourners in Pakistan have buried the 93 victims of co-ordinated attacks by gunmen on two mosques of the minority Ahmadi Islamic sect in Lahore.
The attackers find guns and threw grenades at worshippers during Friday prayers. Three militants later blew themselves up and two were captured.
An Ahmadi leader called for greater government protection after the attacks by suspected Taliban militants. A day earlier, several attackers, armed with AK-47 rifles, shotguns and grenades, held people hostage briefly inside a mosque in the heavily built-up Garhi Shahu area.
While the Ahmadis militants consider themselves Muslim and follow all Islamic rituals, but they were declared non-Muslim in Pakistan in 1973.
