Three persons were killed and over 33 others injured in a bomb explosion near Pan Mandi of New Anarkali Bazar area of Lahore, the provincial capital of Punjab, in the afternoon of January 20, reports Dawn. The explosion left a crater at the site. A newly formed (date of formation unknown) Baloch Nationalist Army (BNA) on twitter claimed the responsibility for the attack. The group was formed earlier this month when two separatist groups — Balochistan Republican Army and United Baloch Army — merged. BNA’s “spokesperson’ Mureed Baloch claimed that the target of the blast was Habib Bank employees. A detailed statement will be issued soon, added Mureed Baloch.
