CNN has the story:
Two suicide bombers exploded a car Tuesday at a building containing the offices of Pakistan’s national investigative agency, destroying it and killing and wounding people inside.
Police said 17 people died and 175 were wounded in the attack in Lahore, and three more were killed in a separate suicide bombing in an area of the city known as Model Town. All three bombers died.
The Federal Investigation Agency is a national investigative agency — similar to the FBI in the United States — and is surrounded by heavy security.
Two suicide car bombers drove their vehicle into the eight-story building housing the offices of the Federal Investigation Agency at about 9:30 a.m., according to the agency.
Lahore police describe the building, where about 1,000 people work, as destroyed.
Sadly, the death toll will probably rise for a while thanks to the significant number of injured.
