You should not use weasel words like “places of worship” instead of “mosques” if you claim to any relationship with the International Tribune, a classy newspaper. This was a cold blooded massacre of Ahmadis, and you have no right to say whether someone is a muslim or not. If they referred to themselves and prayed at a mosque, then you should report it as such. Otherwise you are colluding with the terrorist and those intent on destroying what is left of Pakistan as a civilized society. For God’s sake show some courage!Recommend
I hope this time the security agencies are able to track down and eliminated the network as they always say but it is never done. I hope!!Recommend
