CARL AZUZ, CNN STUDENT NEWS ANCHOR: We`re back today with international current events coverage after Monday`s series finale on the U.S. food industry.

I`m Carl Azuz. We`re starting in Southern Asia.

On Easter Sunday, a bomb exploded at a part in one of Pakistan`s largest cities. Officials say at least 72 people were killed, many of them women and children.

More than 340 others were injured. A terrorist group that`s part of the Pakistani Taliban said it was responsible, that it had targeted Christians who are celebrating Easter in the park.

Christians are a minority in Pakistan. Its official religion is Islam. Christians make up about 2 percent of the population.

Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is from Lahore. That`s the city where the bombing took place.

He says his nation will not allow terrorists to play with Pakistani lives, and that his goal is to eliminate not only terrorist infrastructure, but also the extremist mindset.

Pakistan`s military says it`s raided several cities since the bombing and that some suspected terrorists have been arrested. The government of the region where the attack took place is observing three days of mourning.
