LAHORE, PAKISTAN - Pakistani police say the death toll in a suicide bombing in the eastern city of Lahore has risen to 22.
Senior police officer Haider Ashraf says a suicide bomber on a motorcycle struck near police guarding a demolition site at a vegetable market on the outskirts of Lahore.
Mr Ashraf said earlier it was believed earlier that the bomb was in a car, but it discovered that the vehicle belonged to a police officer, among the eight officers killed.
He said many of 35 wounded are policemen.
The outlawed militant group Tahrik-e-Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.
Lahore has faced scores of terror attacks in recent years. A suicide bombing earlier this year killed 16 police on a busy road while another killed over 70 people during Easter last year.
