NICOSIA: A Pakistani Taliban group on Wednesday claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing of a Lahore police building that killed 24 people, a US specialist militant monitoring group said.
<b>A group calling itself âTehrik-i-Taliban Punjabâ made the claim in a Turkish-language statement posted on Turkish militant websites through an organisation called Elif Media</b>.
<b>The militant monitors SITE cited the group as saying the attack âtargeted the ânest of evilâ in Lahore, and was a âhumble giftâ to the mujahideen who suffer beneath the attacks of Pakistani forces in Swat.â</b>
It specified that a vehicle laden with 100 kilos of explosives was blown up outside a security building in Lahore, the capital of Punjab province in Pakistan, destroying the building and injuring hundreds more.
âTehrik-i-Taliban Punjab asks Muslims in Pakistan to stay away from areas where the enemy is âtaking advantageâ of them, so that they are not harmed by jihadi attacks,â SITE added.
The blast was the third deadly attack to rock Lahore in as many months.
A top security official told AFP after nightfall that 24 people died, including 13 policemen, civilians and security officers.
A senior investigator told AFP the attack was the likely handiwork of Al-Qaeda linked Taliban militants operating from Pakistanâs Waziristan region.
One of the attackers was shot dead by security guards as he approached the building, and two others perished in the explosion, the investigator said.
