critically. witnesses have been recount being the moment of the explosion stand chaotic aftermath. >> i was standing there near, while the blast went off. we saw a pool of blood and people lying everywhere. there is no proper security arrangement here. >> easter sunday the bomber had used a crude explosive, full of ball bearings for maximum impact. a splinter group from the pakistani taliban claimed responsibility. >> the message is no part of pakistan is safe from the be taliban. the softest of the soft targets are the minorities because they have very little to protect them. >> reporter: arresting dozens of suspects, unfortunately, attacks like this are not

unusual in pakistan. lahor and the larger province of punjab have so far escaped be this terrorism. jerald tan, al jazeera. >> al jazeera's kamal hyder sent us this update. >> confronted in at least two problems, one in islamabad and one in lahor, the prime minister of pakistan addressed his nation in what appears to be a prerecorded message in that he said that terrorists no matter where they may be will be sought and that the cancer of terrorism will be removed from pakistan. he also spoke about the military successes along the border areas in north and south waziristan, saying the military had achieved

success however there are some pockets of problems across the country and that had to be tackled. the prime minister also speaking about the attacks in ankara and brussels, saying this was a problem that was now happening in other countries as well. but he said that no one would be able to stop the part of progress that pakistan had taken and that he was confident that he would overcome and the nation would overcome the difficulties. also in a message to the protesters who were staging a sit in outside parliament, he said there would be no compromise and that they would not be allowed to play with the emotions of innocent people, saying that the government's restraint could not be seen as a sign of weakness. >> well, the target of the attack at lahor was seen to be christians celebrating easter.

pope francis addressed large crowds in the square of the vatican. >> translator: easter was bloodied by a horrific attack, that targeted women and children gathered in the public park to enjoy the joy of the easter holidays. i wish to express my closeness to all those affects affected by be the vile and senseless crime. i appeal to civil authorities and all sectors of that nation to make every effort to restore security and serenity to that population and in particular the most vulnerable religious minorities. >> for more now on pakistan's paramilitary crack down we're joined by constitutional lawyer saad rasool. thank you for joining us. focusing on the military crack

down that's been announced, do you have any concerns about its legality? >> thank you barbara. first of all, this is a long time coming. it was expected that a military presence was going to be taking place over pakistan. but the infiltration of some of the militant elements in the central provinces particularly in punjab was an issue that had been highlighted in the die as pra for diasporafor a while. the prime minister just a few hours ago only two hours ago, delivered a speech and there have been reports trickling if that paramilitary force he and some military under the military command have been given extraordinary powers in terms of arresting and trying these

militant suspects. pakistan has over the past four or five years a problem with militancy. two years ago, be the of be pacn connection with civilian police forces, extensive authority, now whether this action is being conducted as part of those exercised ours is yet to be seen. one of the other issues which is being discussed right now and may be a constitutional issue that comes forth in the days to come is whether the military itself gets involved. if that is the case and the operation is not limited just to paramilitary forces and the seven forces, if the military is directly involved then that has

to be done within a special feature envisioned in the constitution. that is that the federal government has the authority under very extenuating circumstances to call military aid in the force of civil power and whether that is it, we'll have to see. >> i guess you know things will become clearer in the coming days and weeks in which one hopes we'll get clarification. getting a balance between the civil and the military. i'm thinking specifically of the searching of homes and the raids. do we have any clarity or precedence as it comes from evere from that, as to exactly who will be going in to people's homes to conduct these raids? >> exactly. the act passed in 2014 gives extensive powers to military and

civilian agencies, to search people's homes homes and take people into custody so long as they have credible information that the individual is expected to be involved in terrorist activity and carrying out the activity. >> forgive me for interrupting but you mentioned that these issues have been in play for two years, southern city of karachi, and what we have seen in the past two years would you say that there have been question marks over this as well? >> there is a question mark in terms of the granting of such instead of powers violates people's rights or not. what is interesting however is that after the pesc peshawar at, ction some of those suspects have also been handing as a

result of military trials. the real question would not just be about who goes into the homes and apprehends these people. the real question will be if somebody is apprehended on charges of terror whether the civilian courts would try those defendants or whether the civilian courts would. >> speaking to us from l ahor, thank you so much for sharing your views with it. >> thank you barbara. >> pakistani army has tried to gain control of thousands of protesters flooding the streets of islamabad, staining a sit-in near parliament. imran khan error reports. >> thousands came to islamabad

says he's trying but needs a few days to get his cabinet members to agree on new names. that's when his m ufti soldiers, militia played a leading role in iraq's sectarian war. but sadr disbanded the mufti army. now he says he speaks for all iraqis. mostly sadr followers they carry only the be iraqi flag. people here want what they think people in the green zone have, a share of iraq's oil wells. protesters are intent ton dismantling the barriers they think are keeping them.

>> we have a lot of widows orphans the poor and unemployed. people have university degrees but they are working as laborers. >> reporter: sadr has tapped into a deep vein of anger against corrupt officials blamed at driving the country into ruin. they say for 13 years they have had nothing but promises, now demanding the government to deliver. jane arraf, al jazeera, baghdad. >> a campaign to retake the country's second largest city was launched earlier this week. iraqi ground forces are being backed up by u.s. is backed coalition fighters. and experts are assessing the damage that i.s.i.l. did to the world heritage site in palmyra.

now that it's been recaptured by syrian forces backed by russian air strikes. these are the first images of the ancient ruins from palmyra where i.s.i.l. has been in control for a year. the damage isn't as bad as many had feared. well it's be a different story outside. a number of start facts were smashed before the arm grouped fled the area. the antiquities are thousands of years ago old and most redate the time. robert carter explains why i.s.i.l. destroyed certain monuments but left others intact. >> they've been very selective in what they've chosen to destroy so they've chosen most notable elements which represent something they wish to destroy

ideologically. while at the same time they are trying to create as much shock as possible. so by choosing these very be prominent monday poouments, they have in a sense the other monuments having played their points, the other monuments are less of a priority for them to destroy. be they use themselves for their own prop canada. it queant ideologically became y imperative to destroy it. through the deliberate selling of antiquities, illegal in international law as well as national law as well, this would not be such an issue if there weren't people there buying these things. so in my opinion, people who are

buying illegal antiquities should be prevented from doing so prosecuted if need be because these people are funding an extremely bloody war, and the insurgency that we see in syria and iraq at the moment. >> meanwhile, the u.n. is pushing for more aid to be delivered in besieged areas in syria while the cessation of hostilities continues. fest. >> bareya is one o an isolated area. just before the truce started last month people who stayed behind have lived under this.

and this. leaving behind a town in ruins and largely destroyed. >> civilians took a break, bombarding has stopped. the regime used everything on us. barrels, rockets, everything. >> nothing watt speerd, many mosques were hit or damaged. at this catholic church there is no easter mass this year. the worshipers have gone. but around 8500 people remain in this rebel-hemmed town. they have been stuck here since 2012. and now they are hungry and desperate. the world food program says people were forced to eat grass, families endured days without a meal. taking care of his plajts. he may be forced to eat them.

be omar al saleh, al jazeera. >> over the weekend, dozens have be decide. have state run 5300 armed curds insistence kurt stan workers party, soldiers police officers and village guards have been killed. most of the casualties have taken place in turkey's largely kurdish southeast region. last tuesday's bombings in brussels police are asking for help identifying another suspect, released the security video from brussels airport. the man with the hat has been seen with the two attackers who were blown up. it comes as four more people

have died in hospital in brussels, bringing the total number of victims from last tuesday's bombings to 35, not including the attackers. jacky rowland has been following events in brussels. >> reporter: the latest development in this investigation is that a suspect who had been flamed only as faycal c has now been released. he had previously on saturday been chanched with participation in activities of a terrorist group, terrorist murders and attemptterrorist murders. investigators say although there are clues that led to his arrest, those clues have now not been confirmed as the investigation evolved so he has now been released which leaves again the big question of who is that third man in the cctv image from the airport? two men who blew themselves up they were the bombers, third man in the image wearing a light jacket and odark hat.

belgian media speculated maybe he was faycal c but bearing in mind the release of the man uncharged, there is a big question about who is that man the third image. belgian police are keen to speak to. we have learned that three others have been charged, arrested during a number of raids on sunday. we aren't given any details though about whether they have particularly been charged if relation to the attacks here in brussels a week ago or whether they've been charged in relation to some other unspecified activities. >> cuba's retired leader fidel castro has written a long letter highly critical of u.s. president barack obama tolling his visit to havana last week. rejecting obama's offers of help fi die-disem croaflfidel castrot

man, 34 years old. so if investigators are right that means from the time this man was 24 years old he was helping the most powerful international criminal organization launder billions of dollars over these years. now some will be looking further into his background to see if this is one of many or if this man may be irreplaceable. that's doubtful though because as we have seen in the past the sinaloa cartel is usually able to replace them quite easily. >> is there anything that his capture tells us about el chapo, anything more? >> it tells us if this all turns out to be true that chapo who sometimes is a seemingly simple person as he was profiled in this recent rolling stone article by sean penn, despite that simplicity from a rural small town background, to run

this sophisticated background, and we are heard from the prison el chapo is being held now, he recently read don quick oath a d he is no longer allowed congress gall visits. he escaped with the help of very high level authorities an allegation by his daughter. all we know about el chapo guzman. >> tell us how big a problem money lawn terg is in mexico. >> reporter: well this person juan manuel alvarez is a typical arrest for mexico. this kind of belies the

complicated sophisticated network of money laundering here. right now in the u.s., for example, families of u.s. citizens who have been murdered by drug cartels are suing london based hsbc bank, the only reason these cartels can be so powerful, is because these banks are laundering money. they are blaming the various, the highest grossing bank in europe right now. and hsbc is of course fighting that lawsuit vigorously that is despite the fact that the u.s. government fined hsbc over $1.9 billion in 2012. estimates more than $30 billion of illicit funds leaves mexico every year. that could be the third highest grossing country after u.s. and russia. not just by the cartels themselves, they have

cooperation at the very highest levels of the global financial system. >> yes truly international network. adam rainey with the latest from mexico city, adam thank you. still to come this hour: calls for somalia's government to do more to help soldiers injured fighting al shabaab. plus: >> i'm wayne hay reporting from the first dam to be constructed on the lower mekong river. government says has to happen to boost the economy. >> golf world's number 1 jason day puts away the season's first major.

here. none have a plan to stay here. people were worried they would be locked upper or deported. now they know that's not the case. persuading people that the migrant trail was not reopening, greece was left alone to deal with the crisis. >> conditions that are needed to host all the refugees. the fences are not solutions. the closed border not a solution. this is not the europe that we like, europe that we know. greece is in front, and hosting all this problem. this is a european problem and europe must solve this problem in cooperation. >> reporter: refugees now have to wait. this family from the syrian city of homs is still scared to

reveal their identities. they can't go back. >> translator: for us the reconciliation agreements don't change anything. the pressure we faced from the regime is the same. they continue to search homes and make arbitrary arrests. >> reporter: many others also say they have no other choice but to leave their countries. some 50,000 people are stuck in greece after the borders closed and before the eu's deal with turkey to take back refugees went into effect. at least a quarter of them live out in the open close to the border. so far 600 people have given up waiting for border to open and since it is likely to be a long wait the government's priority is to give them some sense of normality. zeina khodr, al jazeera, northern greece. 9 prisoners have been swapped for over 100 yemeni
