Pakistan blast: Car bomb kills 26 in Lahore

At least 26 people have been killed in a car bombing in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore, officials say.
Almost 50 others were injured in the explosion on the busy Ferozepur Road close to a vegetable market in the south of the city.
Reports suggest it was a suicide car bomb and the target may have been police working in the area. Police officers are among the dead.
It is the latest in a series of explosions in Lahore in recent months.
In April, the Pakistani Taliban said they had carried out an attack on workers conducting a government census.
A Taliban faction said it carried out a bomb attack in Lahore in February which killed 13 people and wounded more than 80.
