Excerpts from Dawn :
Jayawardene felt his foot go numb. A bullet had grazed his ankle.
Tharanga Paranavithana, who suffered a gunshot wound to the chest, mumbled something. Sangakkara turned to listen when a bullet zipped past his head and slammed into a seat. Then, shrapnel tore through...
Lahore police did a commendable job. I agree to that. However where was the SSG (used exclusively when India cricketers toured Pakistan )
Second , Mumbai 26/11 is no comparison. Any crazed lunatic can go on a murderous rampage against unarmed civilians. The question is of a high value target...
There was this huge security failure . At least agree to that. RAW is a very large organisation. Given the level of security given to this high value target, even Dombivali hawaldaars with their .303 guns could have done what the terrorists done.
As I said many times , 'apne gerebaan mein...
Indeed shocking security arrangements and a casual/careless approach by the Pakistanis !! Add to this, the footage shown by Pakistani sleuths at the terror site, casually picking up items and puting them in a bin (ALA garbage cleaners and not investigative sleuths) .
Add to this the...
More info
Samaraweena was the most injured in the first bus. He sustained a bullet wound on his left thigh. The other injuries were bullets and shrapnels that grazed other players. - as per Sri Lanka coach
Lahore police did a commendable job even driving the second bus to safety after the...
However you look at it, this was a huge and monumental security failure by the Pakistanis. A team of 2 vehicles of 6 men protecting a convoy of two buses (non bulletproof) . There were 12 terrorists who did not have any opposition except these brave men from Lahore Police (not even SSG)
Even...
More information coming in:
1) Pakistani sports minister reiterating what the Punjab governer said a few hours back .. The terrorists modus operandi similar to 26/11.. Further he said , that people responsible for 26/11 could be responsible here !
2) Pakistani busdriver of the Sri Lankan...
Its about time, the gung-ho Pakistanis of this forum restrain themselves !!
GOP has not made any statements linking any Indian hand to this dastardly episode.
Once the investigation starts, then only facts can be correlated and Pakistan can zero down on the terrorists !
Sure this can be...
The thing that will hurt most to Pakistani cricket and fans is that the Sri Lanka were the only team that defied everything that was said about touring Pakistan. India and Australia pulled out citing security concerns. Sri Lanka was the one team that believed in Pakistan and that they would be...
All Sri Lankan players now confirmed safe and out of danger. Two players got grazed by bullets !!
The new Punjab Governer said that the same units responsible for Mumbai attacks responsible for this terror attack. (essentially blaming the LET)
10 terrorists identified. Some came in...
The picture of the man in your profile was once also a bharati/hindustani/indian !! . Yes, I am not a Pakistani but a Fijian descended from undivided India
6 Sri Lankan players injured . 3 names given - Samaraweera, Mendis and Sangakkara. Great job done by the Lahore police who lost 4 of their own plus 1 traffic police.
Visuals show Mumbai style attackers - some in jeans , others in Salwars. Heavily armed with mortars, grenades and Kalashnikovs...
Not that I care about what you write , I wanted to point out your flip flops !! BTW , my grandfather migrated from the part that became Pakistan well before 1947. He carried a British passport and regarded himself an Indian muslim. Now he would consider himself a Pakistani !!
Thats a bit of...
I am of a mixed Pakistani(Indian muslim) / White Irish ancestary. However I love India (and Pakistan too) .
Just pointing out from your own post. Next time think before you write anything :bunny:
Wasnt this supposed to be your last post on this forum !! Changed your mind already :chilli: Think strongly about a political career :taz:
