More than 65 were wounded as buildings collapsed after the bomber tried to ram a car packed with up to 600 Kilograms of explosives into the investigations unit in Pakistan's second city.

"There was panic as students, many of them carrying their injured friends, rushed to the exit, in a bid to find a safe place," Mohammad said.Read More Story,http://www.hindustantimes.com/Suicide-car-bomb-kills-13-in-Lahore/H1-Article1-516436.aspx
