Twitter Alert: Fear & loathing over DHA blast
A bomb blast took place in the Defence Housing Authority area of Karachi, leaving eight dead and several others injured. Terrorists targeted the residence of senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Crime Investigation Department (CID) Chaudhry Aslam.
Local Twitterati tweeted their grief and horror over the incident, with most expressing fear that it occurred in an area where schools are located.
If there are any elements within the bureaucracy that support the TTP, they need to open their eyes and see what they are supporting.
An attack in K-P, in Balochistan, Punjab, Kashmir or in Sindh is an attack on all of us. The government needs to ensure this cancer is uprooted.
Anyone who does not speak up against the Taliban actually lends credence to each attack. All voices should be raised against their brutalities.
Pakistan's Taliban carried out the bombing and have claimed the police official had arrested and killed many of its fighters! I am waiting for denials.
Karachi moms on Facebook talking about how scared they are feeling sending their kids to school :-(
The school teacher, who was killed, worked at Washington International School. Always used to reach early. Colleague of my mother's student.
Her son was in Class 3; a lovely, bright, friendly and energetic child.

Constant reminder that the blast was in a 'posh' ilaaqa ...
Whenever there is an incidence we have stories to share. But we forget and move on. We don't come together and try to influence policy.
Don't sit and wait for your turn. Speak now while you can or prepare to be silenced in silence. You can't keep running away.
