The enemies of Pakistan struck again today killing 50 people at a mosque in Jamrud.
According to a report in The News:
JAMRUD: A suicide bomber killed at least 50 people when he blew himself up in a crowded mosque near a security check post in Jamrud town of Khyber Agency on Friday… Police, paramilitary forces and government officials were among the congregation in the mosque, about 30 km (20 miles) from the Afghan border. The bomber set off his explosives as a cleric began prayers. “So far we have counted 50 bodies,” Tariq Hayat Khan, the top administrator in the Khyber region, told Geo news, adding the toll could rise.
Between 250 and 300 people were in the mosque and about 125 wounded had been taken to Sherpao, Lady Reading and other hospitals in Peshawar, he said. “It was a suicide attack. The bomber was standing in the mosque. It’s a two-storey building and it has collapsed,” he said.
Worshippers searched through piles of bricks, pulling out bodies and carrying them to ambulances in sheets and on rope beds. There was no claim of responsibility but militants had earlier threatened to blow up the police post next to the mosque, residents of the area said.
“It’s surprising, those who claim that they are doing jihad and then carry out suicide attacks inside mosques during Friday prayers,” Khan said. “They are infidels. They are enemies of Pakistan. They are enemies of Islam,” he said.
The attack came hours before U.S. President Obama is to make a major speech on U.S. strategy in Pakistan and Afghanistan (Af-Pak). Details continue to come in what has now become an all too familiar set of events.
Incidents …
(yes incidents, since they have become too common nowadays)
Incidents like these leave me in shock.
I mean who does this? In a mosque?
Even the “Kafirs” wouldn’t do such a thing.
I am really curious to what goes on in the minds of those poor lowlifes before they carry out these brilliiant works of art, leaving millions of people perplexed, and doing such great marketing for Pakistan. Kudos..atleast you’re dead.
Makes me sick to my stomach; reading the details.
For once, I am at a loss for any words.
One day whe a report about a blast on a Shia mosque was being reportd on the TV my young son asked me as to why of all the places they bomb mosques. I told him that it was here that ‘kafirs’ of different religious groups are found separated presenting a very soft target.
A neighbor of mine one day asked me as to why I do not go to mosque. “Why should I go there?” I said. “Won’t you die?” he said. “Is it necessary to go to a Mullah-mosque to get yourself blasted and to pollute the mospue with ‘nijas’ pieces of your ‘harram’ body when the entire face of earth has been declared as a ‘Masjid’ in Islam” I said.
This is the Result of the WAR that America started in Afghanistan and now the Pakistan has become the battle field in the War of others.
Does that 1.5 billion dollars could compensate our Life losses?, rest leave the financial losses which crossed more than 100 billion dollars, the whole Pakistan rather World is in tention, the economy, the tourism everything has been gone down to Earth.
Time has come that everyone should play his/her role, before it spread all over Pakistan (God forbid).
Its not duty of Army, Police, Politicians and Mullas sahibans only, now we have to getup and force the Government, law makers to take constructive and solid steps to resolve the ISSUE with USA. That is/was American strategy, stratagem, subterfuge, maneuver which fails in Iraq and in Afghanistan, although North Korea and Iran was also in Plan but they got very good, solid response from them just because of that it couldn’t dare there.
This is the OPEN Truth, everyone knows whoelse are involved but Government is reluctant to name them. Come on be a courageous have strength to say NO, NO, NO, NO to such aid which is equalent to the PEANUT as far as our LOSSES CONCERNED.
ikk naa tay sou Sukh,
geedar ki sou sala zindagi is sher ki aik din ki zindagi bahtar hay.
I can’t understand that when these guys are destroying mosques why don’t the mullahs rise and speak up against them. Just does not make sense!
