Ten dead in Christian church blasts in Lahore

Bombers have attacked two crowded churches in the Pakistani city of Lahore, as people attended Sunday services.

At least 10 people have been killed and many more have been hurt.

The attacks, thought to be suicide bombings, were in Lahore's biggest Christian suburb, Youhanabad.

An offshoot of the Pakistan Taliban, calling itself Jamatul Ahrar, has said it carried out the attack.

Christians make up less than 2% of Pakistan's overwhelmingly Muslim population.
