Re: ^^^ Bomb Blast in Lahore: Please Pray ^^^

the police were the main target

:(

ARY keeps showing the same clips over and over again. atleast they aren't showing any blood or dead bodies yet.

70+ injured.

Re: ^^^ Bomb Blast in Lahore: Please Pray ^^^

According to SSP Aftab Cheema, a suspicious motorcycle was coming towards Police. When they tried to stop him, he blew himself up.

Re: ^^^ Bomb Blast in Lahore: Please Pray ^^^

Poor police officers.

Re: ^^^ Bomb Blast in Lahore: Please Pray ^^^

they also mention a car without its number plates. when exactly did this happen? like what time?

it seems like it was a pedestrian that might have blown himself up =/

Re: ^^^ Bomb Blast in Lahore: Please Pray ^^^

According to Lahore Police Cheif Malik Iqbal, the person was neither in car nor on bike when he blew himself up.

Not too sure about exact time at this point. I'm guessing awhile ago.

UPDATE: 21 dead.

Can anyone give me link for Aaj News?

Re: ^^^ Bomb Blast in Lahore: Please Pray ^^^

Spare us bash the jihad.

This is not jihad by any form or fashion... we need to separate attacks like these from Jihad, that is the start.

THESE TYPES OF ATTACKS ARE *NOT **JIHAD. So, lets not LABEL these people as "*jihadists." Because with that we really help their "cause," as jihad is main aspect of Islam and I repeat, these attacks are not jihad of ANY type.

Re: ^^^ Bomb Blast in Lahore: Please Pray ^^^

Good point .. they should be referred to as Butchers.

Re: ^^^ Bomb Blast in Lahore: Please Pray ^^^

according to justice (R) nasira iqbal, if the rally was on time, then the lawyers might have been part of the dead too. guess being late has gotten us some good for once. oh also she blames the people/person in power. so who's next?

Re: ^^^ Bomb Blast in Lahore: Please Pray ^^^

^ unfortunately, it was not a set time-bomb, it was a suicide bomb attached to a man who exactly knew when the bomb was going off.

If he wanted to attack the rally, he could do it precisely as in the case of Bhutto's assassination.

Re: ^^^ Bomb Blast in Lahore: Please Pray ^^^

according to ARY, the bomber might have been 19-20 years, based on the head that's been found. he blew himself up according to the time it was predicted the rally would have been. ofcourse he didn't think about anything when he did it.

Re: ^^^ Bomb Blast in Lahore: Please Pray ^^^

it was around 11:48 AM when this happened (Aaj News)

Sad... clearly, the ones to blame are:

1.** Media**
I have yet to see a MASS, top level campaign against suicide in Islam (assuming that these people believe that) and suicide bombings targeting OTHER *MUSLIMS*! Music, videos, concerts, aftermath of news events like these, they are good at that... but to dedicate enough time to combat and prevent attacks like these, media is the biggest culprit.

  1. Ullema / Mullahs / Molvies I have yet to see a Molvie, Ullema, Mullah in Pakistan specifically declaring these suicide attacks as HARAM or issuing a fatwa against these types of attacks, against suicide. WHY???????

Re: ^^^ Bomb Blast in Lahore: Please Pray ^^^

simply because for every rational person you will find that will condemn the action, you will find 5 more that will justify it.

thanks HHL
