As the Pakistani forces continue to press onward towards a Taliban stronghold in an effort to eliminate the extremist terror group, attacks on security forces and the general public have increased, pushing the death toll up over 400 as a result of these continued bombings. Just this Monday, a suicide bomber attacked the city of Lahore, killing 10 people, followed by two bombs exploding in the heart of a busy Lahore marketplace, resulting in the deaths of 34 people.
The Taliban is hoping to use these random attacks of public places to terrorize the Pakistani government into calling off the offensive on the extremist group, but for now the Pakistanis are holding strong, pushing onwards towards eradicating the Taliban.
