Acts of Terrorism in Pakistan

Two security men injured in IED attack in Peshawar - DAWN.COM

PESHAWAR: At least two security forces’ persons were injured Sunday when a roadside Improvised Explosive Device (IED) targeted their vehicle in Peshawar’s Wazir Bagh area.

According to a DawnNews source, the police mobile van was targeted with a roadside IED in Wazir Bagh on the outskirts of Peshawar.

The vehicle was completely damaged and two security forces’ persons were injured.

No loss of life was reported in the incident.

Peshawar is the gateway to Pakistan's troubled northwestern tribal region where troops have for years been locked in deadly battles with insurgents.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility after today’s attack, but outlawed militant organisation Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan has frequently targeted police and security forces with bomb and gun attacks during the five-year insurgency.

The huge explosion outside the office of a sensitive agency in Faisalabad on 8th of March took lives of more than 30 people leaving more than 100 injured. This explosion was not only another desperate attempt to destabilize Pakistan but also a futile effort to keep the law-enforcing agencies away from their devoted objective of fighting against terrorism. The people behind such type of heinous activities are living in a fool's paradise; they think that they would succeed in frightening the nation and in convincing the people to follow and support terrorist designs. But the facts are absolutely otherwise. According to the authentic media reports since July 2007, some 4,000 people have been killed in bomb blasts, suicide and gun attacks which mostly targeted the security officials and the people from the law-enforcing agencies but after every blast and suicidal attack we find our security agencies working more forcefully than ever before. Terrorist attacks in Pakistan are out rightly condemned and openly rejected by all segments of society. The law-enforcing agencies are not only sincerely committed to fight the menace of terrorism with all possible zeal and zest but also ever alert to provide all kinds of support to the victims of terrorist attacks. Their only aim is to maintain a superb situation of law and order against terrorist activities. In spite of hundreds of terrorist activities against the Pakistan army, the police and the intelligence agencies, all these three institutions are conducting successful operations to eliminate the roots of militancy in Pakistan. They are determined to carry on such operations against terrorism till their last breath. The people of Pakistan are very well aware of the real motives behind these terrorist activities. They know very well from where the terrorists get financial support, technical assistance and terrorist training. Sacrifices offered by Pakistan in Global War on Terror are very significant and deserve matching recognition by USA, EU and other world leading countries. Unfortunately the international media seems unwilling to admit these sacrifices. It is always involved in an onslaught insinuating against Pakistan's Armed Forces and the law-enforcing agencies of Pakistan, blaming them of playing a double game. The Faisalabad blast is another proof of the sacrifices offered by the security agencies of Pakistan.

IED good in A'stan, bad in P'stan

IED means bad news for everyone, people think that it's the blast that kills, yet before you are even touched by the fragmentation or thermal impact of the explosion, you will suffer immediate and fatal brain damage due to rapid compression of air into your ear canals, which is closely followed by ruptured lungs.

So yeah IED's anywhere = VERY BAD NEWS!

Attack on Jaffar Express near Machh - DAWN.COM

QUETTA: At least four people were killed and over 10 wounded during an attack on the Rawalpindi-bound Jaffar Express on Friday, DawnNews reported.

The train, which began its journey from Quetta, was attacked with rockets near Machh Town in Balochistan’s Bolan district.

Following the rocket attack, the assailants began shooting at the train.

Security forces retaliated and were engaged in an exchange of fire with the attackers which was still ongoing.

Additional contingents of the Frontier Corps (FC) and Levies had reached the area and were assisting security forces in retaliating the attack.

Friday’s attack comes just over a week after gunmen disguised as security personnel killed 11 civilians and two security men after kidnapping them from Punjab-bound passenger coaches also near Machh Town.

The coaches were coming from Quetta and the banned Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) had claimed responsibility for the killings.

Balochistan, Pakistan’s largest province by area, is plagued by extremist militancy and sectarian violence, as well as a regional insurgency waged by separatist militants.

Even senior members just because of there urge to troll fail to understand that there is a sticky thread for such incidents and open threads for every other incident of violence inside Pakistan. Then they whine later that they are banned by mods for no reason.

Difficult situation for Mods.
