LAHORE: A woman who was shopping for her wedding was killed in the deadly blast in Lahore on Monday.
Fatima, who was to get married next month, was one of the 14 people killed when a suicide bomber hit Chairing Cross in Lahore.
The deceased was passing by Mall Road with her brother Bilal Jamshed when the incident took place in the popular shopping hub in the city.
Fatima was the eldest among four siblings. According to her mother she made a last phone call home, asking for details of the things she had to buy for family members.
Fatima’s fiancé had to come from America for the wedding ceremony.
The deceased’s grandmother said that Fatima was a very good-natured and loving person. Everyone at Fatima’s home has been jilted by the tragedy.
Fatima's 15-year old brother was critically injured and shifted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, where he is currently under treatment.
The banned terrorist outlet Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, which has claimed responsibility for the attack, earlier hit the city with a deadly suicide bombing in 2016. The attack claimed 70 lives.
