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?
Gorki:
technically and constitutionally the president can over rule but practically he has to listen and go along with their recommendations, unless he has strong military military back ground and or knowledge, which obama does not.

what is and where is alqaeda, seriously?!! with sophisticated us intelligence and military power they could not defeat ‘al-qaeda in afghanistan, in iraq, in somalia, …. may be they don’t want to. why would they, what excuse would they have to spread their claws all over the world.
you have to believe all the garbage the us media , the zionist propagand machine, feed you to believe, al-qaeda is capable to do all the things they tell you. if you want the truth you have to go to alternative sources, independent media, such as democracynow.org.
and yes i was referring to referring to the Cuban Missile crisis, the Bay of pigs and in the end what happened to kennedy.
i was living in the dark for 20 some years in this country. only in last few years i have come to realize that the reality in the us is quite different than we are led to believe.
i don’t understand the reasoning that i often hear even on this blog that talibans and others extremists are killing more people than us or israel. people forget that we did not have this ever increasing bombing and killing before the us invaded afghanistan. themore us troops in afghanistan and drone attacks in pakistan the greater the frequency of bombing.
the us war on terror gave the extremists excuse to advance their agend – the ‘islamisation’ of pakistan. yes, they should be dealth with by all means possible. but if they kill that should not mean an open season for the us or any other country to come and kill pakistanis with immunity. our government has surrendered pakistan to the us to do as they please. almost daily missile strikes followed by mullah’s bombing.
the united staes is desperate, it can’t win any where. people the world over know what the are up to except the americans.
These attacks show the real face of the enemy. The tragedy is that too many people are still in denial about what the Taliban are up to.
@ Razia:
I am sorry but I am somewhat puzzled by the following three statements:
1. “obama may be commander in chief but he cannot go against the wishes of the general, who want to maintain their hold anywhere and everywhere they can”.
Are you saying that the President of the United States can not over rule a general (BTW not true) or is it only Obama who can not?
2. “who are al-qaeda anyway?”
Is this a serious question?
AND
3. “it would be worthwhile to revisit what happened during jfk
Another day, another attack. How long can this go on.
these mullahs and Taliban have now killed much more Muslims and Pakistanis than USA or INdia ever did.
They are the real enemy of Islam and of Pakistan.
Pakistan Zindabad
Does anyone know the exact number of Muslims who are being killed by these Taliban.
It is clear that far far moe Muslims are being murdered by these Taliban than by America or Israel or anyone else.
They are the real enemy.
