Daily Dhamakas?

Terrorist attacks still occur, but have gone down significantly in the past couple of years.

Compare these stats to the ones from 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011.

You'll see a decrease.

Although charity in pakistan can mean international terrorist non state actor, the edhi guy is indeed an inspiration. However his office was not the target, it was the police.

Flying angel, thats too many.

 

[Perceptron]

The number of incidents over the course of a single day have reduced, increasing from 2007-2009, and then dropping, but they still occur roughly for once a day, which was my point.

Ignorance is bliss. Care to remember that only 4 months have passed in this year, 2012 and 200+ bomb blast. Gone down what? They need to be stopped at once. It isn't like curb these many this year then next year. That ways it would take decades to eradicate this menace spreading like a diseases.

Not again, good thing no one got injured.

Good to hear that no one is hurt. I think the number of attacks and fatalities has comes down significantly after Pakistan's denial of supply route to NATO.
