Two days after the attack, Christian community in Pakistan have urged the government to do more to protect them as a sense of vulnerability is growing among members of the community.
Irshad Ashnaz, the Christ Church vicar, said Christians, who number around 2 million in a nation of 190 million people, have been the target of a series of attacks in recent years.
Last March, suicide bombers struck Masih’s Christ Church and another close by, killing at least 14 people.
In 2013, a pair of suicide bombers blew themselves up outside a 130-year-old church in Peshawar after Sunday Mass, killing at least 78 people. Pope Francis condemned the attack on Sunday as hideous and demanded that Pakistani authorities protect religious minorities.
