Data Darbar attack: Two years later, three suspects arrested
On July 1, 2010, at least 42 people were killed and 175 were injured when three blasts hit Data Darbar. The blasts tore through the shrine complex when scores of people were offering prayers in the Data Darbar, which sits in one of the city’s most crowded neighbourhoods.
One explosion took place in the courtyard of the shrine, one at gate number five and a third in the basement.
Countrywide protests followed the attacks, with people from all walks of life condemning the killing.

@ali gilani: I think Mr. Gilani does meet the common citizens who are fed up with this system and they entered in the dark street where they are unable to find way out. Both the parties have corrupt elements in their folds, which can not be eliminated. Mr. Gilani sitting on far from place you can not judge the sympathy of any one.
I can see right or left parties in future but I still believe that every political party one agenda to support the corrupts regime, as a result of this economically we have lost too much our foreign loan have been double, our currency is continuously facing downward trend, Due to worst load shading of Gas/Electricity, our exports have dropped, this also resulted in massive underemployment. Moreover our foreign investment has touched an alarming figure.
Above all, our so called Right/Left parties have shifted their capital to other capitals, Is this way Right or Left parties work in any country.

@Aurangzeeb Humayun Chowdhry: You are saying all this because you have assumed things. There clearly is polarization in Pakistan, either you are with a group that hates taliban or you are with a group that sympathizes with taliban. You are wrong when you say "I hardly see any right or left wing leader". PPP has always been left wing and PML(N) has always remained right wing. The choice is clear unless you are in a state of denial.
As far as the politics of current as well as past decade or more is concerned, I hardly see any right or left wing leader. Now the entire Nation is confronted with the corrupt political Mafia who has no ideology, there basic aim is to get the wealth at any cost. I wish there had been any left or right wing, so they could have followed the code of ethics in their political life.The entire assembly directly or indirectly favors the all the regime for their own interest. NO MNA had consulted his constituency before giving the Vote to any New PM. So there is no right or left wing in our country. As regards the judiciary is concerned it is doing good job because if Mr. A is under trial then definitely Mr, B will under trial, In this I can see some reform in our society.
I wonder why courts and a lots of lawyers are with the right wing, I'm really out of logic here. I always thaught that law should be about moderation not extremism.
@Ishrat salim:I'm sure you think of Qadri as a hero. Court has always let these terrorists free, court is loyal to the right wing so are you.
Encouraging development....keep it up guys
The judges are too busy in political cases and these tiny issues do not bother them. In addition the PCO SC makes sure it appoints the prosecutors and investigators itself in political cases but let the ordinary police be involved in terrorism and cases where hundreds of innocent people die. There has not been a single terrorist that the judges and lawyers did not like. Remember LHC CJ soon after his retirement offered Qadri of his free services! People can malign the ruling coalition and the lawyers like Asma and Dr. Ahsan however, nobody can call them the friends of terrorists. There is an open war going on in the country between mainstream Muslims and the extremists. Let us take a peek in our hearts and find out who do we support?
The very fact that they were nabbed by our law enforcement agencies after two years is itself surprising, I thought they tend to forget about crimes the very next day. All in all, a good news. The credit is certainly due here for law enforcement agencies. Keep it up guys.
The intelligence and the other agencies involved might had to put lot of struggle in tracing out the terrorists. I am afraid they will set free like in the past. Law Enforce Agencies who have caught the alleged terrorists, should arrange proper witnesses against them so that the court may be able to give punishment according to the law and such bomb blasts should not be repeated again and again

i am sure that they will enjoy there at cells and will be set free after some years
