@Abdullah: What a sick mindset. You should be ashamed. It is mindsets like yours that encourage genocide against Shias. Shame on you.
ooo bhai.....1) Disco Mor (North Karachi)......2) Disco Bakery (Gulshan-e-Iqbal).....and 3) Safoora Chorangi ....are three different places separated by at least 6-10 Kilometers each.....where exactly it was located???.... what kind of confused reporting is this?
Why do Mosques seem to be favored targets in Pakistan? -- land of the pure apparently isn't so pure,
First and foremost, we are glad to hear that the Pakistani authorities were able to foil this act of terror and possibly save many lives in the process. The sad truth is that we have become accustomed to seeing terrorist activities inside Karachi. The economic hub of the nation is becoming an ideal place for these terrorists to spread fear and chaos. Also, it is alarming to see that the threat of terrorism continues to spread throughout the region. And the terrorists and their activities are no longer confined to the border area. The seriousness of the situation requires us to stand united against these terrorists. The need to instill trust in our relationship should be on top of the list of priorities. Conspiracy theories do not serve any justice to our mission, especially when we are suffering at the hands of the same terrorists. Our differences only allow our common enemies to gain momentum and further their evil agenda. We need to stay away from conspiracy theories that attempt to create a friction between our alliance and shift our focus away from achieving our common objectives.

"""Shia militants active again"""
How do you know ? So far Shias are being massacred everywhere .... in Quetta ... in Gilgit-Baltistan ... Kurram Agency and Karachi !
Shia Militants = what an oxymoron
@Abdullah I hope you are taunting only? Because if you are not, you are seriously misled by i dont know what. You will have to search a shia bomobers using all your faculties because they dont exist really. They are not jihadis you see.
@Abdullah: Shia do not kill innocent sunnis thats the difference between the two.Mind it.
@Zabandraz: Not Taliban but Tehreek-e-Taliban Pentagon (TTP)
@Zabandraz: This is first time hearing Taliban has a collusion with USA.But Taliban has something other to say.They hate USA as you hate them.
During the past couple of days, this is the third time when a bomb has been 'reported' to be planted somewhere. On the previous two occasions, the report turned out to be a hoax. ET, will you please stop spreading panic and verify the news before publishing it online. Kindly stop following the 'Breaking News' bandwagon and concentrate on some professional reporting.
American sponsored terrorists failed to play with innocent lives.
The BEASTS (TALIBAN) will always try to destroy Pakistan as advised by their masters USA
Shia militants active again
