Only way to control Such act is to STOP PROVIDING these people with Weapons and other explosive materials! Government is equally involved in such ruthless attacks being carried out!
Question to the Government?! Why not shut the supply of guns and powders to the Civilians!?? How is Sweden, Malaysia, Singapore, India way more peaceful than pakistan?! Forgod sake Put the ban on guns/powder being readily available in the market!!!!!!
@Cautious: there are a few reasons why a military offensive is not feasible. Primarily because the government is not influential enough and doesn't have enough credibility with people of Pakistan to authorise such step without seeking general consensus from all the stake holders.
Why is it that militant organizations who's public goals are to install Sharia seem to favor blowing up Mosque's and targeting civilians? Why is it that your military is hesitant to launch a major campaign against these thugs?
Army is not a jinn to handle such situations. its Police job
Just stop gap arrangments. Think for lasting solutions.
entire pakistan is sensitive..............
