A Pakistani Taliban faction claimed responsibility, and said that they targeted Christians. Sunday's explosion occurred in the parking area of Gulshan-e-Iqbal Park close to children's swings. The park is a popular site for members of Lahore's Christian community. Many went to the park to celebrate the Easter weekend holiday.

Many Christians accuse the government of doing little to protect them, saying politicians are slow to take any concrete steps to improve security.
