42 People were killed and about 50 injured in a wave of terror attacks in Pakistan today.<br/>A child was killed and nine persons were injured today in a bomb blast on a residential area in northwest Pakistani city of Peshawar, hours after terrorists struck in Lahore and Kohat leaving 41 people dead and 40 injured. The blast occurred in the Gulshan-e-Rehman colony on Kohat Road in Peshawar, the capital of North West Frontier Province. Earlier, suspected Taliban militants unleashed a fresh wave of terror storming three security facilities in Lahore including the Federal Investigation Agency office and also carried out a suicide bombing at a police station in the northwestern city of Kohat. Police said, at least 20 people including 16 security personnel and four civilians were killed in attacks on the Federal Investigation Agency and two police training facilities in Lahore by three groups of terrorists in the morning. Ten of the attackers were gunned down by security forces or blew themselves up. In Kohat, 11 people died when the suicide bomber rammed his explosives-laden vehicle into a police station. Pakistan has witnessed a sudden spurt in terror strikes since May when it launched an offensive against the Taliban in the restive North West Frontier Province. Pakistani channels reported that Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan claimed responsibility for the Lahore attacks.<br/>
