Pakistani authorities have detained more than 5000 suspects in the two days since a suicide bomber killed more than 70 people in a park in the city of Lahore. Authorities have carried out at least 160 raids.
The Pakistani government has promised to crack down on militants and their backers after a suicide bomber targeted Christians celebrating Easter in Lahore on the weekend.
A Taliban splinter group, Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, which also supports the self-proclaimed Islamic State, has claimed responsibility for the attack.
