Wah !!!!! What an intricate piece of art. How much painstaking labor has gone in making this destructive piece. Those whose job it is to diffuse these bombs, put their lives at stake every day. These are brave heros who remain nameless.
This pic gives me shivers. Cruel world!
Good job. Respect to the pakistani security forces who risk their lives on a daily basis in one of the most dangerous countries in the world. We should keep a tally of how many bombs are actually diffused.
Salute to brave policeman!
