Innocent Pakistanis continue to pay the price. 95 more martyred in Peshawar today. Why and for what? Our deep condolances to bereaved families. No words left for me to say except a deep numbing effect. I do have a longing and a loud cry for PEACE. Is Pakistan becoming the next Algeria? Dawn coverage here. Jang coverage here. The News coverage here.
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

We are Pakistanis and we are resilient. Inshallah, we will triumph over Islamic extremism.
May God give patience to those who have lost their dear ones and resolve to our people and leadership (ameen) to fight enemies of Islam and Pakistan.
Can I suggest that we show our support by writing and sending gifts to Pakistani Police and Army who are doing a marvelous job.
Few days back, I wrote to ISPR http://www.ispr.gov.pk/front/main.asp?o=t-main_pag e thanking them for defending, protecting and preserving Pakistan.
We must show our support and encourage them.
If Owais or Adil with their contacts can come up with way to send gifts and thank you cards, that will be great.
ziyada to hum kiya karainge, thoora sa hi kar lain aur kuch nahi to kam az kam shukria to kah dain. Rahe wafa mein hur mamooli kaam bhi naeki hai.
I really think that Blackwater and the CIA need to be investigated in relation to this attack. Come on now, are they on holiday in Pakistan? Or do they have their own job to do…
If this act of mass murder does not make Pakistani citizens take decisive actions against Taliban, what will?
Pakistani leaders have to stop pointing fingers at ‘foreign hands’ and tell the Pakistanis that there is no foreign hand in terror inside Pakistan.
In my view the blast had multiple objectives as it overshadowed the attack on UN gueshouse in Kabul the same morning.
Algeria, Lebanon, Iraq and now Pakistan. My questions …
1. Is there any correlation between the US presence and the terrorism.
2. Why the blast occuerd on the eve of Hillary Clinton’s visit?
3. Are the so called Pakistani Taliban capable enough to counter the measures taken by intellegence and security agencies in Islamabad, Lahore and Peshawar ?
4. Are they doing it without any foreign help?
5. Why are they attacking innocent civilians?
It should be against the law in Pakistan to be a Taliban sympathizer….yep the marshal law style.
