Pakistan-India crossing closed after 60 die in suicide bombing

Muharram 10, 1436, November 03, 2014, SPA -- The death toll from an overnight suicide
bombing on the Pakistani side of the border with India climbed to 60
on Monday as authorities from both sides temporarily closed the
frontier to travellers and trade, officials said, according to dpa.
Twelve more people died of their injuries, raising the toll from 48
overnight after the Taliban bomber hit a crowd gathered to watch a
flag-lowering ceremony at the Wagah border crossing near the eastern
Pakistani city of Lahore, said Doctor Kurram Shahzad at Khurki
Hospital.
More than 130 people were injured in the worst attack to hit the
country in several months, said Tahir Javed Khan, head of the
paramilitary Rangers force that mans the border.
Khan said the crossing had been sealed temporarily after police found
another bomb in the parking area Monday.
