At least 14 people were killed after suicide bombers attacked a Christian community in eastern Pakistan on Sunday. 

Two bombings rocked the Catholic Church and Christ Church in the Youhanabad area, city of Lahore, that left at least 78 others wounded. The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the deadly attack, and warned more bombings will follow until Sharia Law is implemented in Pakistan.

The suicide bombers were believed to have set off their explosives at the gates of the churches.

Witness Amir Masih said he heard an explosion near one of the churches and saw a man blew himself up after failing to get inside the church.

"I rushed towards the spot and saw the security guard scuffle with a man who was trying to enter the church," he said.

Video from the bombing site showed residents in panic amid shattered glass, twisted metals and debris outside a church compound. Rescue and emergency personnel were also seen moving in and out of the site.  

Ehsanullah Ehsan, a spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban, through telephone said his group will continue to attack Pakistan until Sharia Law is followed there.

The Pakistani Taliban had split into several factions over ideological differences. But the group announced last week that they were joining forces again under the name Tehrik-i-Taliban, or TTP.

Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and President Mamnoon Hussain strongly condemned Sunday's attack.  Sharif's government did not succeed in holding peace talks with the TTP last year.  Now, the Prime Minister ordered its military and local governments to put people's safety and nation's security as top priority.

Crowds gathered and protests erupted following the suicide blasts.  The angry crowd also attacked two men they believed were behind the suicide bombings. The crowd trampled on them and burned them to death.

People blocked the Lahore's Ferozepur Road, while a television station reported a bus station being attacked.

In 2013, at least 80 people were killed after bombers attacked a Christian community in the city of Peshawar, in what was believed to be the biggest attack on Christians in Pakistan.

Christians make less than 2 percent of Pakistan's population.
