LAHORE, Pakistan – A suicide car bomber Monday struck a building where police interrogate high-value suspects in Pakistan’s eastern city of Lahore, killing at least 13 people and wounding dozens including women taking children to school, officials said.

The attack broke what had been a relative lull in violence in Pakistan, where militant groups revile the government for its alliance with the U.S. It also showed that insurgents retain the ability to strike the country’s heartland, far from the Afghan border regions where al-Qaida and the Taliban have long thrived, despite army offensives aimed at wiping them out.
