@true muslim: It is not right to justify any act of terrorism by saying that the tragedies of Chilas and Kohistan are reaction of killings in Gilgit. If Chilas killings are reaction of gilgit incident, then what happened exactly in Gilgit before Kohistan killings? Absolutely, nothing. The media should have courage to declare terrorism as terrorism. Giving justifications for mass murdering is not right.
May Allah grant them Jannah, Rest in Peace
This is second accident in row after Killing of innocent passengers of Gilgit and Skardu bond buses. The banned Jandola claimed responsibility of the first attack in Kohistan in which 18 passengers were killed and later an angry mob repeated the same killing over 20 and burning buses. Both were declared as reaction of killings in Gilgit.
