May 2009 Lahore attack

The 2009 Lahore bombing, a car bomb attack against police headquarters in Lahore, Pakistan on 27 May 2009, killed at least 35 people and injured 250. During the attack gunmen fired on guards then destroyed the emergency response building at the city's police headquarters by detonating their car bomb. Offices used by the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency nearby also suffered damage. Two individuals were arrested in the immediate aftermath of the attack.

Pakistani accounts from the time of the attack say the three attackers who died in the attack were unidentified. Two of the attackers emerged from the Toyota van used in the attack, and fired on security officials. The driver was not able to breach the boundary of security pylons, before he detonated the bomb. Some eyewitnesses claimed additional terrorists providing cover fire.
