LAHORE: A mob on Thursday attacked and partially demolished an Ahmedi community's place of worship in Sialkot.
At about 11pm on Wednesday, a mob of about 600 men showed up at the spot and began to demolish the Ahmadiya place of worship. The mob continued the destruction up to 3am, as no one tried to stop them.
