Guest: Michael Kugelman, Senior Associate for South and Southeast Asia at the Woodrow Wilson Center The Taliban in Pakistan set off a bomb near the swings in a park in Lahore, Pakistan on Easter Sunday, killing 72 people and injuring hundreds more. Most of the dead are women and children picnicking for the holiday. It was the deadliest attack in Pakistan since the massacre at a school in 2014 killed 134 students – the Pakistani Taliban claimed that one, too. Who is this group? What are its goals? And why is it going after children?
