It's been a horrific day. I used to have friendly spars with Punjab residents about "Khi vs Lhr" thingie. And it usually went like ...
"Humaray wan samander hay!" (me of course :S)
"So? We're greener and have more rainy season"
"Yeah so what! Ours is a financial hub!"
"Ho.. what's a hub if there are bombs and everybody stays at home?"
Me would usually shut up at that because it was true that Khi was almost always the target for terror activities... :(
And now?
It's a horror. Not only had we come across bomb blasts last year (like Model town etc) bulkeh the recent Sri Lankan team bus attack ... and now THIS.
What has the police done? Or rather, trainees. Some were even sleeping in their beds (one eye witness reported) while they were shot. And Rehman Malik??? The ... (I don't have words proper enough to describe HIM).... he says (brazenly as usual) how the training took place in South Waziristan, how the terrorists landed in Lahore 15 days ago (yepp, you heard me right. He watched the whole drama or something), how Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Taiba are involved (yeah as if THEY have something against trainee policemen)... and now he comes up with "The attack was orchestrated by Baitullah Mehsud's groups...
Ha!
Somebody should go pull all his standing-on-end hair out. One by one. Slowly!
I don't believe the gall of our leaders. And the lapses (we can't even begin to count them) of our security services. The only consolation is that at least the terrorists weren't roaming for three days !! .. They were overpowered and many many lives were saved. Allah ka ehsaan.
No surprise at all the suspect (being shown on TV) turns out to be an Afghan National, a/c to RM of course. It would have been a surprise had he not
1. Sported a beard
2. Looked Muslim-ish
3. Looked like a tribal
4. Had hair on the longer side.
We're so brainwashed by the media that the attacker had to look "the image." **fuming**..
Remember the 27th March bombing of a mosque in Peshawar? That killed 70 people? Well, one local reported today that the death toll is much much much higher (he said 170 people were killed) and the highest number of people killed per family is : 18 men -- of the same family ..
**wants to not think -- just stop feeling**
And .. one family was visiting and driving past the mosque when Jummah time came, and the men got out of the car, and went for prayers. Their women sat outside, waiting. All of those men never returned.
This local also reported that the media is keeping extremely quiet about this. But the double storey mosque was not capable of collapsing due to a mere suicide bomb. There has been speculation by the locals, that this was a drone attack by the Americans. But so far, the media hasn't followed this up.
This local said with great conviction that this was nothing but a drone attack. It was a missile which reduced this mosque to rubble in seconds, so that nobody has a chance to escape. ...
Now that the Obama policy has outlined greater target area within Pakistan, especially within Quetta (Quetta !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)...

Look at Malik's I'd-do-anything-you-ask face
Richard Holbrooke the US Special representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan went further and said that Pakistan’s city Quetta appears to be Taliban’s headquarter, and could be bombed. He said that “The number one problem in stabilizing Afghanistan was that of Taliban sanctuaries in Western Pakistan, including its tribal areas and border cities like Quetta. Quetta appears to be the headquarters of Taliban leaders, who are some of the worst people in the world."
Ha!.. and who gives YOU this right? Some divine power we're unaware of ??? And what about the system of courts and law ? Right of an individual to defend him/herself? How would you like it if somebody photographed you on a halloween party, concluded you're actually a blood-sucking vampire, and proceeded with bombing your entire neighbourhood?
Answer us!
You're all answerable... All of you. The great leaders of this great nation (the first "great" is sarcastic, the second one is genuine). And this trio: Zardari, Kayani and Malik.. this is the triangle cutting Pakistan into bloody pieces -- each piece a tribute and evidence to the countless struggles of already poverty-stricken people, and courage of brave young cadets and officers... in this war... which is ongoing.

Look at Kayani's I'd-do-anything-you-ask face

And now take a look at Zardari's I'd-do-anything-you-ask face
