40 Killed in Pakistan Attacks
-----------------------------



In Pakistan, around forty people have been killed in a series of
coordinated attacks. Earlier today, gunmen raided three government
facilities in the city of Lahore, while a suicide bomber struck a
northwestern town. Taliban militants have recently escalated attacks in
advance of an expected major Pakistani military offensive in restive
areas near the Afghan border.
