@raj: Answering a silly inane comment with an even sillier one makes you look foolish, dear. Ignore such delusional people. Don't strive to mimic them.
@Ozair: this is not us... when we do an attack u quiver with fear.........so not us :p
ShukranAllah, don't know how many more these people will kill. People are quick to blame Taliban and I'm not saying they should not be blamed but you need to remember that there are more than 50 groups operating for their own 'games' by using Taliban's name. You need to do peace talks with Taliban & eradicate the dirt left. Of course Taliban won't take it lightly but the ones who don't cooperate should be dealt with. You need to give harsh punishments to terrorists, raid madrasahs (although in Punjab the govt does keep an eye out because I saw some in Gujranwala being checked), start a campaign to eradicate terrorism from grass roots level such as education, treaties, show them the Hadith where you can't even rebel against your government if they haven't oppressed you, have more people come out taking a stand and much more. You cannot win with bloodshed! It only needs to more.
Looks like RAW is getting sloppy !
The Police should ask people to recognize the dead bodies of the terrorists and then hand over the dead bodies to their family members.
The investigations of the Police should not end over here.
After identifying the dead bodies of the terrorists, Police should investigate and peep through the whole pipeline as where these terrorists used to go, with whom they use to meet, what were their cell numbers and with whom they were in constant touch on cell phones.
This will lead the Police to reach to the master minds of the terrorists.
They got what they deserved!
Bravo. Bad luck for three, good luck for 180 million.
I wish more & more their devilish endeavor failed prematurely. And no best of luck for the next time.
regards.
Another 'Entity' had other plans for the trio. But in one day, Lahore/Quetta and now Karachi...something is not connecting-for these to be called TTP work...(their modus operandi is kind of different).
good Taliban still free to do their scared duty...Karachi under surgical operation...surgeon not well qualified ...
Good pests are removed!
