Oh how many doctors and wise men he killed. how clever these monsters are to kill the brightest and just try to weaken the true followers of Allah. forget about expecting justice in pakistan. 50% of the population is either involved in the killings or have sympathy for the killers. other silent 50% don't really give a damn. You will all be responsible for your deeds on the day of judgement.
