Suicide attacks in Pak: Angry men on street

Angry protesters have taken to the streets in Pakistan, burning tyres and condemning Taliban extremists after two suicide attacks killed 43 people at a shrine in the eastern city of Lahore. The carnage at the Sufi shrine on Thursday was caught on camera in dramatic CCTV footage showing the bombers and the blast which sent hundreds of panicked worshippers fleeing. Thousands of protesters in Lahore and other cities demonstrated against the attack on the shrine dedicated to Sufi saint Hazrat Syed Ali bin Usman Hajweri, popularly known as Data Ganj Bakhsh. Close ally the United States said the "vicious" attack showed militants' disregard for Pakistani people. Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said the government was "committed to eradicate the menace of terrorism at all costs".<br/><br/>
