Three suicide bombers attacked a popular Muslim shrine in the Pakistan city of Lahore late last night, killing at least 41 people and wounding 175 others, the city's top official said.
The attackers struck as thousands of people were visiting the Data Darabar shrine, where a famous Sufi saint is buried. Islamic extremists consider Sufis to be heretics and have often targeted them in attacks.
