Re: # 175

tahmed mian,

.... it is not just the mullah who is out to screw the nation, it is the tens of millions of people who offer their friday prayers behind them ...... the mullah is just a catalyst who fires up the mohammedans to do what comes naturally to them ...... like i always say, "namaz tamam burai ki jar hai " (namaz, or salat as they call it nowadays, is the root cause of all evil) ......... moslems, or muslims as they like to be called, get worked up very easily because they go through this indoctrination five times a day, day after day after day ..... therefore, the only way we can cut down on this religious fanaticism and frenzy is by restricting namaz to once a week on fridays ..... what do you say?

RiazHaq: the attack had all the characteristics of the mumbai attack which even the pakistan government (after hemming and hawing for weeks) admits. so - if it walks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, it is a fcuking duck. or one of the fcuking "muslim brother" of yours whom you refuse to recognize by pointing to RAW, Sri Lankans and what not.

Like too many Pakistanis, you are a coward who refuses to face reality - the reality is that the mullah is out to screw the nation.

The causes of deep dissatisfaction among Pakistanis in Pakistan are highlighted by a rising sense of insecurity and loss of confidence from incidents such as the attack on Sri Lanka's team yesterday.

While it is possible that Pakistani militants or political opponents of the PPP carried out this shocking and tragic attack, external elements from India or Sri Lanks can not be ruled out. In fact, the investigators should not rule out anything immediately and pursue all leads until they have good preliminary results.

There has been a lot of discussion in India by former RAW officials to launch covert actions inside Pakistan after Mumbai. And, lately, the Tamil rebels have also been under a lot pressure in Sri Lanks by recent successes of the Lankan military. There are multiple external players with strong motivation to launch such an attack.

re. nkg #160:
"Can you find any non [Muslim] locality in Lahore (mini india), which can be used as buffer to carry out attack?"

A non-Mulsim (mini-India) locality/buffer isn't a requirement for carrying out such an attack. Any old anti-State organization will do, thank you very much. And don't worry, I'm sure that financers don't leaving their business cards or otherwise reveal their identity even to their handmaidens.

You are talking out of context.

Both Indian and Paki attacks were planned in Pakistan by Pakistanis. Pakis are rightly berated for planning these attacks in India. As for Pakistan, you know how shit-scared are your army and police of these stinking jehadis.(If the youtube video could throw some light on your wisdom.)

Why should Indians be happy about the incidence? Sportsmen were attacked and that too non-pakis. Everyone is doing "sheee thhoooooo" to your akas (spitting on your face)

iron_mask #168 i see that these terrorist attacks, invovling the killing and maiming of people in real life, give you indians so much joy: When the attacks occur in india, you can berate pakistan for planning them; when they occur in pakistan, you can berate pakistan for incompetence.

Happy, happy, joy, joy
Other people's tragedies are great
When you are a meesna indian boy.

Angry Chris Broad says cricketers and officials were left as 'sitting ducks' by Pakistan
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article5845201.ec e

apparently the Pakistani Cops behaved like a bunch of cowards, and left the team and officials to do their own thing.


read the interacts on The-Times.

Chris Broad, the English cricket referee caught in the middle of the Lahore terror attack, railed against the Pakistani authorities today for leaving players and match officials as “sitting ducks� because of poor security.

Six players and a British assistant coach were hurt in yesterday's attack, which also left six Pakistani policemen and two civilians dead.

Looking exhausted, the former England opening batsman told a press conference shortly after arriving at Manchester Airport that he had an inkling there may be trouble during the Test series and had been assured by high ranking officials that they would be afforded "presidential-style" security.


He accused the Pakistani police of abandoning the cricketers and match officials as the terrorists' bullets pinged off their vehicle in an alarming fashion. He said he was "extremely angry".


Broad, who was acting as International Cricket Council match referee for the series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka, was with the umpires and other match officials in a minibus and following the Sri Lankan team coach when it was ambushed by more than a dozen terrorists close to the Gaddafi Stadium.

He said he was left with three emotions. The initial reaction was "absolute shock" at the extraordinary events of the previous 24 hours, followed by sadness, particularly at the loss of their driver, and anger at the inadequacy of the Pakistani security services.

"When we were in the van we were not aware of what was going on outside. After the incident, when we were able to watch the television pictures, we could quite clearly see the white van we were in next to the white ambulance in the middle of the roundabout with terrorists shooting past the van and sometimes into the van, and not a sign of a policeman anywhere.

"They had clearly gone and left the scene and left us as sitting ducks. I am extremely angry. Questions need to be asked of Pakistani security - it wasn't there when we needed it. It was appalling."


Broad, 51, also described how he and the umpires, Simon Taufel and Steve Davis, dived for the floor of the van when the shooting started, adding that the bullets "popped alarmingly off the metal vehicle".

"I am extremely fortunate to be here today," he said, "as are Simom Taufel and the other match officials. We were all in the bus at the same time."

At one point, Broad said, the side door opened and a police officer threw himself into the van. He shouted to the officer to take over the driving seat and manoeuvre the vehicle to safety but received a reply in broken English that he could not drive.

Re: # 164
afat...
if that is source of terrorism, why don't you dismantle these ghettoes?...I don't think india will mind another million refugees....at least, as musla country, you can drive them away using blashphemy law....
On the contrary, for India, it is not possible for driving out entire musla population from its territory...rather, musla population is growing rapidly...so, the problem will be there (for India) and may worsen in future unless and until they are kept in jials and police keep strict vigil on musla ghettoes....

Re: # 158
Iron...
Indira Gandhi was murdered in broad day light...the murderer was hanged a decade later...if the killer of the "most powerful PM" of India enjoys so much judicial inefficiency, then what will be the fate of common citizen...FBI wants to poke nose into India as well. Once, they force into Indo-Pak matters, they will be successful...India had deferred it so far...We don't know about the future...
