LAHORE: DawnNews has obtained the CCTV footage of the May 28 terrorist attack on the Ahmedi worship place in Lahore’s Garhi Shahu area.

The footage was recorded from a camera placed outside “Darul Zikr”, the Ahmadi prayer house.

The footage shows two heavily-armed terrorists enter the place of worship at the time of prayers and shooting at worshippers.

People panicked as a result and the footage shows them running haphazardly to save their lives.

The terrorists took to different rooms in the prayer house and shot at people after which they entered the main hall and blew themselves up.

Seventy people were killed and more than 100 were wounded in the attack on the worship place in Garhi Shahu.
