3 Bomb Blasts Kill a Child, Injure Dozens

Three bombs exploded in eastern Punjab province, killing a 4-year-old and injuring at least 24 other people, police said. Two bombs went off within minutes of each other at a bus stop in Lahore, the provincial capital. Fourteen people were hurt, the police said. The third bomb ripped through a crowded market in Muridke, about 18 miles to the northwest, killing one person and injuring 10 others. A 4-year-old boy lost both legs in the explosion and later died, doctors said. No one claimed responsibility for the series of blasts. Pakistan routinely blames such explosions, particularly in eastern Punjab province, on neighboring India.
