Lahore - A bomb wrecked a bus in a town in Pakistan's central province of Punjab, killing five people and wounding 22. Police sources in the provincial capital, Lahore, said the bomb exploded in a packed bus at a terminal in Gujranwala, about 70 km to the north.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast, which follows an overnight bomb explosion in a train near the central Punjab city of Faisalabad that killed two people and wounded 34. --(Reuters)
