Two Mosques in Pakistan
Gunmen have attacked two mosques belonging to the minority Ahmadi Islamic sect in Lahore, killing at least 70 people.
The death toll has been rising as bodies from the mosques, which were fullfor Friday midday prayers.
No-one has yet come forward to claim responsibility but suspicion has fallen on the Pakistani Taliban.
Worshippers were "easy targets" for militant Sunni groups who consider the Ahmadis to be infidels.
It is unclear whether gunmen are still holding people hostage inside the mosque in the heavily built-up Garhi Shahu area
But officials say the toll at Garhi Shahu is likely to be higher because the attackers blew themselves up with suicide vests when police tried to enter the building.
Police said one militant has been killed and two others were arrested, police said.
This is the first time places of worship have suffered daring and well-coordinated attacks that bear the mark of Taliban militants.

Sarah Ferguson (Fergie)
Sarah Ferguson, according to elements of the British media, has been forgiven by ex-husband the Duke of York (Prince Andrew. She has managed to tango her way out of her latest royal scandal, and now she would like to try to perfect the moves as a contestant on "Dancing With the Stars.
Fergie has a love/hate relationship with the British public, they either love or loathe her but does get sympathy votes when the media pick up, or entrap her, into being really greedy.
The troubled Duchess of York told "Inside Edition" that she would like to be on the reality show - mainly for her kids amusement.
"I would quite like to go on 'Dancing With the Stars,'" she said. "I would like somebody to teach me to tango."
"I do know the show and my children would be so proud of me," she added.
The duchess, who is in dire financial straits, offered to introduce a journalist, who posed as a wealthy businessman, to her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, in return for more than $700,000. But the poser was a reporter for one of the low-end Sunday Papers andthe Brits are getting fed up of all the entrapment stories that are being created by the media.
She's blamed a "serious lapse in judgment" for her actions.
