The attack took place at a crowded public park in the capital of Punjab, the most populous province of the country. At least 72 people, many of them Christians celebrating Easter, were killed.

此次袭击发生于旁遮普省省会城市的一个公园内，当时公园内挤满了人，且该省是巴基斯坦人口最多的省。至少有72人死亡，他们中的很多人是基督徒，正在庆祝复活节。

Twenty-nine children were among the dead. More than 300 people were wounded.

Tuesday, the provincial law minister told reporters that more than 5,000 people were detained. He said they later released all but 216 people. Police and special counter-terrorism units have taken part in many raids across Punjab.

周二，该省司法部长告诉记者，目前已拘捕5千余人。他说，他们随后释放了除216人之外的其他所有人。警察和特种反恐部队参与了旁泽普省各地的多次搜捕。

Pakistani officials said intelligence agencies and troops also carried out raids against suspected “sleeper cells” and “terrorist hideouts” in several cities of Punjab.

巴基斯坦官员表示，情报部门和军方也在旁泽普省的数个城市对疑似潜伏分子以及恐怖分子藏身地进行了搜捕。

Jammaatul Ahrar, a group that once was part of the Pakistani Taliban, claimed responsibility for the bombing. It said the suicide attacker targeted Christians. A spokesman promised that the group would carry out more attacks in Punjab.

自由人党(Jammaatul Ahrar)宣称对这次爆炸事件负责，他们曾是巴基斯坦塔利班组织的一部分。据悉，此次自杀式袭击者的目标是基督徒。该组织一位发言人表示他们还将在旁遮普制造更多恐怖袭击。

The threat caused officials to temporarily close all of the public parks in the province. The spokesman also threatened to attack local media.

这一威胁迫使政府关闭了该省所有公园。这一发言人还威胁说要袭击当地媒体。

“Everyone will get their turn in this war, especially the slave Pakistani media. We are just waiting for the appropriate time,” the spokesman said on the social net working site Twitter.

“所有人都会轮到，尤其是该死的巴基斯坦媒体。我们正在等候时机。”这一发言人在社交平台Twitter上表示。

2014年12月白沙瓦一学校遭遇恐怖袭击之后，这周日复活节炸弹袭击是巴基斯坦遭遇的最为严重的恐怖袭击。近150人死亡，其中大多数是孩子。
