LAHORE, Pakistan, Sept 1 (Reuters) - A mob set fire to a police station and vehicles on Wednesday after blasts killed up to eight people at a Shi'ite procession in the Pakistani city of Lahore, witnesses said.

People also beat policemen after the attacks which came after a lull in militant violence during floods which have overwhelmed Pakistan's U.S.-backed government. (Reporting by Mubasher Bukhari; Editing by Sanjeev Miglani)
