Two bomb blasts have killed at least 14 people near two churches in a Christian neighbourhood of the Pakistani city of Lahore, local officials say. <br /> <br />More than 70 people were hurt in the explosions, which targeted worshippers attending Sunday mass at the churches in the Youhanabad area. <br /> <br />Violent protests erupted after the blasts, with a mob killing two men accused of involvement in the attacks. <br /> <br />Pakistan's Christian community has often been targeted by militants. <br /> <br />An offshoot of the Pakistan Taliban, calling itself Jamatul Ahrar, has said it carried out the attack. <br /> <br />Witnesses say suicide bombers were responsible for the explosions but police have not confirmed this. <br /> <br />The bombers are said to have detonated their explosives near the gates of St John's Catholic Church and Christ Church.
