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?
KILLING OF ZAB
@ Adil najam:
“Today, April 4, former Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was killed by Gen. Zia-ul-Haq. The killing has not stopped ever since.”
Adil Killing of ZAB by ZUL was NOTHING compared to what ZAB did. He did worse than Killing…. He declared reciters of Kalima Tayyaba as “Kaffirs”.
Tree of INJUSTICE in Pakistani society was planted by ZAB. And he himself became victim of it… and now 30 years after .. plant has grown up to be a big tree and is providing its “wonderful” shade to whole Pakistani nation that CLAPPED when ZAB was planting that tree of injustice.
Why Pakistanis are CRYING on their 34 year old VICTORY???
I have a comment about the picture on the left in this article. I find it very conveniently contradictory of the Pakistani populace that they expect the army to eradicate these terrorists. Pakistani army could now in turn be a player in this mess, but it is hypocritical of anyone whining for democracy while army was in charge to now expect army to directly get involved. Now it is upto the democratic instruments to use any and all tools at their disposal including the police, the intelligence agencies and the army to find a permanent solution to this menace. Don’t ask anything of the army directly.
Another work of indian terrorist agency RAW. Our so called leaders are masha’Allah baigairat enough and dont want to touch the real people behind these activities. They are being constantly brain washed about religious extremism and how the enemies of Pakistan are taking advantage of all this is being shown almost every other day now.
Yet another suicide bombing today in Pakistan, this one in N. Waziristan.
At least 17 people, five of them children, died when a bomber detonated a vehicle loaded with explosives in a busy marketplace .
This place seems more and more like Iraq of 2006.
my condolences
How can you expect Pakistanis to recognise this enemy within? The same people were mujahideen bravely fighting the godless soviets, including carrying out terrorist acts in bazaars of Kabul and streets of Herat. Killing off maliks/elders in FATA. Then, as LeT, they were making the enemy bleed through a thousand cuts, as they were wantonly making Kashmiris ‘collateral damage’ and worse, and we were enthusiastically filling up LeT chanda boxes on every shop counter. The Taliban flogging and beheading Afghan men and women, were our ‘strategic depth’. On 10/11/01, we were told we had to abandon those who had been our heroes for the previous 20 years, under the threat of being bombed in to the stone age. Not because these people were our enemy too. Is it not a bit too late to ask us to recognise these people as enemies, when we’ve been told they are our heroes for at least a quarter of a century? Is it surprising that we’d rather try our utmost to see American action or Indian conspiracy as the threat and not these fellow muslims and Pakistanis?
