They are not shaheed yet, I hope they are not in the future either! We salute you!
Thanks to the Police for averting the attack. Their shahadat will not go wasted.
Despite high alter tight security in the country, the suicide bomber went to his to do the task 'mission impossible'.
Thanks to the security forces who are quite vigilant to save the precious human lives.
If in normal days, security all over Pakistan is beefed up, I am sure that enemies of Pakistan will not be able to succeed to implement on their own home made agenda.
You obviously posted this news in a hurry because the title under the photo is: "The university also plans to offer new postgraduate programmes, including mechatronics and earthquake engineering" !!
Salute to policeman.
