Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja has been stunned by the two suicide blasts that left over 25 people dead last Tuesday. His house in Lahore's Model Colony was damaged because of one of the blasts. This was confirmed by the 46-year-old former Pakistani batsman himself.
"It is not very serious damage but the knobs of almost all doors, aldrop and lock of the main door are broken and I had to immedaitely look for a contractor to repair the damage," he said from his Lahore residence.
"The impact of the blast was such that it caused surrounding cars, running on CNG fuel, to burst into flames. I was sleeping at the time of the blast. I have never heard such a terrific noise in my life."
In the first blast, a bomber reportedly drove into the building with 55 kilograms of explosives. The second blast had a less obvious target in a residential area not far from Asif Zardari's Lahore home. "It was half a furlong away from my home," he added.
Within minutes of the blasts, the Australian cricket team cancelled its tour of Pakistan.
