UPDATE: April 5: More Pakistani Muslims – this time 30 in Chakwal – were martyred today by the enemies of Pakistan. Here are details from The News:
At least 24 persons died and 35 were injured at the Imambargah suicide bombing here. One killer blew himself up with explosives during annual Majlis Aza being held at the Imambargah located in the centre of the town at Mohala Sarpak of City police station area. The blast ripped apart the bodies of the faithful at the Imambargah, leaving a horrific scene of scattered body parts and blood all around the incident site.
Eyewitnesses said that following a Majlis, the faithful had crowded the main gate of the Imambargah, while those entering into the Imambargah were being frisked, when a youth 16/17 year old during checking blew himself up, which resulted in on the spot death of 20 persons, while the other four succumbed to their injuries in hospital. Four children were also included among the dead, they said. The bodies and the injured were shifted to the Chakwal District Headquarter Hospital, while some injured were sent to Rawalpindi.
Ambulances from Rawalpindi and Jhelum reached the scene of incident and stated relief operations. High police officials, DCO and heavy contingents of police also arrived following the blast. The police besieging the area have collected the evidences. Several vehicles were also damaged in the blast. Large number of people had thronged the hospital for finding out the welfare of their relatives, while the town remains drowned in an environment of mourning.
Six more Pakistanis were killed today by the enemies of Pakistan in a suicide attack in F-7 Islamabad. According to The News:
Six security men were killed and several others injured in a suicide blast near check post of Frontier Corps (FC) in Sector F-7/3 Margala Road, Islamabad on Saturday, Geo News reported. SSP Tahir Alam said security men were taking dinner when the attacker entered the check post and blew himself up, killing six of the security men and injuring several others. He denied any exchange of fire, saying the security men fired in the air to scare away any other attackers. Police has cordoned off the area. The injured have been brought to Poly Clinic Hospital. The incident has set off panic among area residents.
This is just more in the ongoing war on Pakistan by the enemies of Pakistan. Mosques are targeted in Jamrud, little girls are flogged in Swat, attacks are conducted in Lahore, Rawalpindi, Karachi, Quetta, Peshawar and everywhere in between, political leaders are assassinated in Karachi, everyday and everywhere the enemy is within us and killing us in every way. It does not help that our so-called friends are also bombing and killing Pakistanis.
But why, oh why, are too many are still reluctant to call these suicide bombing murderers what they are. How may Pakistanis must they kill off before Pakistanis recognize the face of the enemies of Pakistan?
Today, April 4, former Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was killed by Gen. Zia-ul-Haq. The killing has not stopped ever since. It is not that there was not killing before that. Even Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was himself no angel. But the demons unleashed by the this and other actions of Zia-ul-Haq continue to grow in size and sway over society. What will it take to push these demons back?
Friends, if our analysis is wrong, then our solutions are bound to be wrong.
I am no supporter of Talibans. I unequivocally condemn the suicide bomb culture that has gripped Pakistan. However, let me tell you that most of the talibans also condemn such type of needless violence. It is only a small minority among them BOUGHT OVER by the murderous RAW, that is behind these bombings.
No doubt that Taliban’s interpretations of Qura’n and sunna are medieval, however you cannot find fault with their commitment. We should not play in the hands of zionist and Indian media that wants to create divisions among Pakistani society in the name of Talibans vs. non-Talibans. We should stand united and give a befitting reply to indo-zionist forces, rather than fighting among ourselves
@Gorki. No offence meant. I just got carried away by the hate and anger I have for these vermins.
@Ali haider. If it wasnot for our army, taliban would have been eliminated form Swat abd rest of Pakistan. It is only becasueof the overt and covert support of our very army that they have mushroomed. Ask any swati and he would tell you thereal face of our army in Swat.
Bravo Ali Haider I think one day your style of thinking will catch on and that will bring change a good change in Pakistan. Till then keep on with it…..
Well what these enemies of Pakistan are doing to Pakistan every one knew about this.. Our media criticised Pakistan Army on every forum for doing an operation in swat now see what they have done to the people there specially women..Muslims have been defamed enough in the whole world and now they supplemented it with another such brutal act..I dont blame the taliban only for this..i think All religious political parties who have been criticising Army and supporting Taliban are responsible for this. Now what is happening in Dera Ismail Khan and the one’s who are giving it shelter are sitting next to Zardari and during Long March advocated him even more than Rehman malik or sherry Rehman. If we have such supporters of Taliban in our govt and every aspects of life we cannot get rid of them at all..Our media yelling and screaming for freedom of speech only when they wanted to talk against Govt. why they dont show what is happening in Dera Ismail Khan..where a sect of muslims are faced with target killing.. sectarianism..why our media never came up with freedom of speech on this issue.. no one recalls govt. and other religious parties of what they have been promising but they can make their jokes and play clips of their previous speeches..
