@Voice Of D.I.Khan: ...and Syria has 1800km border with Pakistan. Hello!!!!
Someone, somewhere dumped the weapons used in DI khan Jail break. Police found them from someones house. And not arresting him or anybody else for that matter. Not even pointing a finger at anybody{someone}. Good show by the police. The black paint shame [jailbreak] will be washed.
Now LEA's look more cleaner and efficient. Well done.
Great Nation is thankful for your actions.
Good job, security forces!!! Let's hope more militants are found and killed in action. The judicial system is currently not ready to try and convict these monsters (security issues), and the central jailing system also obviously needs work.
Lol... All Planned... Terrorists have flown to Syria to help their Jihadist brothers and to earn Dollars and Saudi Money for our Government, so they left their weapons for our security forces, that's why no one got arrested....!!! Pakistanis are being fooled by establishment...!!!
No requests required, please. One way ticket to heaven only!!!
What if Pakistan let loose all Lashkr-e-jhangvi and jamat-ud-dawa guys through indian border? What if ? They just look for a way to die...will be a lot easier for Pakistan to facilitate them. What if ? India, think before you leap.
