Horror inside Pakistani Christian church as two suicide bombers kill eight people, injure 42 at a Christmas service

Two suicide bombers have attacked a church in the Pakistani city of Quetta, killing eight people and wounding 42 others.

Sarfaraz Bugti, home minister for the southwestern Baluchistan province, said hundreds of worshippers were attending services at the church ahead of Christmas.

He said the attackers clashed with security forces, with one assailant killed at the entrance while the other made it inside.

Baluchistan police chief Moazzam Ansari praised the response of security forces guarding the church, saying the attacker who made it inside was wounded and unable to reach the main building.

He said: 'Otherwise the loss of lives could have been much higher.'
