A Taliban suicide bomber blew himself up Sunday in a crowd gathered for a flag-hoisting ceremony at the Pakistani border with India, killing 48 people and injuring more than 100 in the worse attack in months, police said, according to dpa. Nearly 8,000 people attended the ceremony that is held every evening at the Wagah border crossing near the eastern city of Lahore, police official Mushtaq Sukhera said. The attack occurred as security was on high alert across Pakistan for the Shiite Muslim month of mourning, Sukhera said. -- SPA 20:43 LOCAL TIME 17:43 GMT تغريد
