wipe-out BRA terrorists
Few more heads of BRA should roll. Only a day earlier BRA had killed and injured killed and injured scores of Pashtuns in Quetta (Alamo Chowk). Hope fully they will taste the bitter taste of their excesses.
Bra bomb attack just sounds too funny. Let's hope they can keep these Bra members in check and stop them from making more mischief. Let's ban Bra for life!
