A blast in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore a short distance from Lashkar-e-Taiba founder Hafiz Saeed’s home killed two people and wounded 14 others on Wednesday, police said, adding that they had yet to determine whether the explosion in a residential neighbourhood was caused by a bomb.

Saeed has for long had a residence in Johar Town. However, he is currently in jail in Lahore after he was arrested and convicted last year in a series of cases related to his involvement in terror financing.

The blast went off at a house located about 120 metres from Saeed’s residence in Johar Town, TV news channels reported.
