The cause of the blast was not clear but casualties are feared, said police sources

The bombing is the latest in a wave of attacks in an apparent response to the Pakistani army’s offensive against Taliban fighters in the tribal areas near the Afghan border.

However, this is the first time Multan has been hit in the surge of violence that
began in October and has already killed more than 400 people.
