Taliban 'planning more attacks'

Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play.

The Pakistani Taliban have claimed responsibility for a bomb attack in Lahore which killed at least 26 people.

The claim was made in a telephone call to the BBC, says correspondent Barbara Plett, who is in Islamabad.

During the call, a top Pakistani Taliban commander also warned of more attacks in protest of the current bombing campaign being led by the Pakistani Army in Swat Valley, which he says "killed innocent people".
