LAHORE: Investigators have yet not made any significant progress in a probe into a suicide blast outside the Data Darbar shrine, ARY News reported.
Officials investigating the May 8 blast that killed 13 people, including Elite Force personnel, are connecting the dots to trace the facilitators of the terror attack.
