Pakistani police say the death toll in a suicide bombing in the eastern city of Lahore has risen to 22. Senior police officer Haider Ashraf says a suicide bomber on a motorcycle struck near police guarding a demolition site at a vegetable market on the outskirts of Lahore. Ashraf said earlier it was believed earlier that the bomb was in a car, but it discovered that the vehicle belonged to a police officer, among the eight officers killed. A statement from Malik Mohammad Ahmed, a spokesman for government of the eastern Punjab province, says the car bomb struck an old vegetable market in the neighborhood of Kot Lakhpat on Lahore's outskirts on Monday.
