It was only yesterday SMC was boasting about how terrorists in Pakistan are not able to launch attacks in big cities and how Kabul has been targeted by AT.. Looks like he spoke too soon..

what a useless and poor taste post on your part.....terrorists are still able to attack at will even in your financial capital and federal capital.

maybe we just need to accept the fact that our police are simply not up to task and are in dire need of being more alert and better equipped to respond to grave threats

This does not look like attack by Taliban. Because it was not a suicide attack and was not of the magnitude Taliban are known for. Looks like some small group did this. Good tging that casualties are low.

Good post. Typically an Indian one. Taking cheap shots on someone's death is that should only come from an Indian and you did the same.

Now coming to what SMC said. What he said is true. He just said that major terrorist attacks in major cities have decreased considerably. Their was time when their used to be terrorist attacks in all the major cities including the federal capital and were cheered by Indians on this forum and on the internet. Now that has changed. Lahore was save from any major terrorist incident for part one year or more. And even in this attack the casualties are low and the terrorist choose the easy target unlike before when they had audacity to attack ISI headquarters. On the other hand after years of war AT still have the ability to launch attacks in a place which is supposed to be the most safe area of Afghanistan. Even the world's most advanced military have failed to avoid such attacks. This is what SMC said.

exactly my point..the attack attern is not that of the usual one...
much more damage could have been done if the attackers wanted to..or may be the innocent civilians got lucky this time.

it looks like a more politically motivated attack...organised by the "shaheed party" to tarnish shareef brothes repo as they have done good in keeping lahore secure against terrorist attacks...

Thats exactly the point that was being made on that thread that preventing terrorist attacks is a very tall order. Though Mr SMC was of the view that Pakistan has secured its major cities and Afghanistan has not been able to.. Anyway, thats a discussion for a different thread..

Nonsensical insults aside (which are expected from the likes of you), please read my response to Abu Z above..

I'll still stick to that statement. The last terrorist attack in Lahore before this was in January of last year. You have to look at the frequency of attacks, not that one happened just now, and therefore the terrorist can launch attacks freely in major cities.

I did ask you then as well.. How many major attacks in Kabul in last 3 years..?

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

must find out the source of where they are getting their faulty detonators, and ''congratulate'' them


on a serious note, death to all terrorists......death to their supporters and backers

 

[Jango]

The detonator went off but the vest did not go off, and the attacker died because of the detonator?

Thats new.

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

detonators use heat, flame, spark or meckanical shock to explode a small amount of primary explosive to set off the main (much less sensitive) charge

could be faulty detonator, wiring, anything really....


i'm not shedding tears over one more dead terrorist...that's all i can say
