Pakistan bomb kills three in Lahore restaurant district 7 July 2013 Last updated at 05:16 At least three people were killed and dozens more injured when a bomb went off in a busy food street in Pakistan's eastern city of Lahore, officials say. Local media said the explosion happened as people sat eating at restaurants in the Anarkali area on Saturday night. Around 40 people were believed to have been wounded, with some in a critical condition. Children were reportedly among the casualties. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. "The blast site is just few metres away and the blast was so loud that I was stunned for a while," shopkeeper Naseed Ahmed told Reuters. There was chaos everywhere. Police official Zulfiqar Hameed said the bomb was connected to a deep freezer in one of the restaurants, according to the news agency. Eyewitnesses reported seeing windowpanes smashed and furniture from the food stalls destroyed. Lahore, the capital of Pakistan's Punjab province, has been relatively free of violence in recent months despite a spate of bombings elsewhere in the country.
