DANISH KHAN, 28, BANK WORKER, LAHORE

I work in a bank located just near the High Court. We were in the office when suddenly I heard a big blast around 1145 am.

It was so loud that the building vibrated and I rushed to the window and saw a huge cloud of smoke. I was sure it was a bomb attack.

I rushed towards the High Court and was shocked to see a bunch of people lying on the roadside, most of them policemen, with many body parts scattered here and there.

We are afraid to come to work tomorrow

I was watching helplessly and wanted to approach the area to help but was stopped and returned to my office.

Everyone is confused and has no idea what is going to happen, we are afraid to come to work tomorrow.

The suspicion is getting worse and a lot of people my age think that the government should not support the war on terror.

TARIQ JAVED, ELECTRICAL WORKER, LAHORE

I work at the Pakistan Electrical Department very close to the blast area.

I was on my way to the post office when it happened. The explosion was horrible and I felt very afraid. A number of people including police officers were lying dead on the ground.

Nobody wants to go outside and there are rumours another bomb has gone off.

IMRAN IQBAL, STUDENT, LAHORE

We were in class at University of the Punjab when we suddenly heard the horrible sound of the blast.

Suddenly many ambulances rushed to the site. Our university was sealed on the spot and none of the students were allowed to leave or enter the university.

The government has totally failed to run the country peacefully and should resign.

SAAD MUNIR, STUDENT, LAHORE

The attack was done about 2 minutes away from my cousin's house, I went to visit them and they feel so insecure.

Their children are afraid; they have never seen so many dead bodies and human organs spread out on the road. I am worried they will never forget these scenes.

We are all dependent on the media for our news as we are not allowed to go out.
