I too think that it can't be a Muslim and it could be one of those Faisal mentioned in his first post. But let not forget that lately there have been some black sheeps among us who shed a lot of blood in 90s in the name of sects.
Yes, when someone does that I'm pretty sure his imaan (whatever left in him) leaves him before commencement of such act.
The police are saying that it was a suicide bomber. They've found body parts (presumably with the injury that occure when you're at the centre of an explosion, such as decapitation)
But more importantly, there was no crater left by the explosion as you would expect if the bomb was left lying around. It was carried well above the ground... and the only way for that not to draw attention would be if it was concealed on someone's person until the point it exploded.
Why would someone kill themselves to kill this many Muslims? What could they have been hoping to accomplish for themselves :(
He told the BBC the attack appeared to have been carried out by a suicide bomber.
Initial reports suggested the bomb had been planted under the wooden stage, but Mr Sherpao said “investigators have found no crater in the ground under the stage”.
“People sitting on the stage were killed which suggests the bomb was carried by someone on the stage,” the minister added.
The religious leaders were sitting near a stage erected in front of the thousands of Sunni Muslims marking the birth of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. Several leaders were killed.
“The bomber used about 5 kilograms (11 pounds) of explosives obtained locally, and we have collected his body parts,” Siddiqui told The Associated Press.
You can see the stage was structurally quite undamaged, which you wouldn't expect if the bomb was detonated below it but managed to kill the people on top of it.
The bomb must have gone off above the stage. Again, if the bomb went off at floor level, 5kg of explosive would have done quite some damage to it. It must have gone off above floor level amongst the people on the stage.
Couple that with the body parts being found (if you have explosive on your torso, your head and limbs would be ejected outwards and away) and it looks likely to be a suicide bomber.
Body parts are the first step toward identification. This person must have had friends, family, neighbours, somone who noticed he's missing.
So Lajawab, why do you show so much sympathy to racical islamists? Do you think they are angels? Suicide bombings is something that Pakistan did not see in the past, and its one of a kind, from Israel, Iraq and now even Pakistan. You say its not a good thing to blame anyone so quickly, I agree, but you only say that when someone mentions these sectarian fundos, you welcome them if they accuse mossad, cia, raw shaw, why the double standards eh?
The b-tard who carried this cowardly attack is already dead but I hope those involved with him get their punishment in this world. This is a VERY good time for the Government to disarm and take into custody the top guns of these militant organizations like lashkar vashkar operating in Pakistan. Ofcourse we will have their sympathizers crying, but who gives a damn after what they did today.
May Allah give Jannah to the deceased and shifaa to the injured. Aameen.
So many people, from scholars I knew, are gone. What a sad incident.
One of the signs of the approaching hour is when the "knowledge" will be taken away. I gather it's the same as "knowledgables" are being taken away.
May Allah's wrath be upon those who are behind such a henious act. Aameen.
May we all live in peace. They should un-arm ST, SSP and JM completely. And as Faisal said, spread and teach peace and harmony among young followers. MMA did bring some tolerance in this regard.
you need to get your facts right here. We all know who are talibans, where they come from and what school of thought they follow. Judging from outside is not going to do any good to you.
n plz don't blame RAW, Mossad and FBI for your internal confrontations.
He should be among them 2nd or 3rd row :sad: the suicide bomber
This is unfathomable how a sane person can do such an act.
oh wait :eek:
I get it.
Couple of days ago Baloch National Army was banned and declared a terrorist
Now BLA is most active organisation carrying out malacious activityies in country ( blowing up rail way track , train , gas pipelines etc)
He must have been actvist of that group, a loyal to Bugtis. And I can understand their loyalty to ‘Sardar’. Cause for these people tribe is everything they can kill and get killed on the orders of these sardars because they have blind faith that their families would be taken care of, very well afterwards…
I have heard level of devotion for these Sardars and Peers in Sindh and Balochistan. For instance Peer Pagara is one such person that if orders his follower to blow himself, they would not hesitate for a second. For them he is Their God… Literally !
^ this is just an example, never heard any thing bad about Peer Pagara in this sense, He is just another peer, worshiped by his followers
BLA is rightly banned and no leader of balochistan has made a statement that he belongs to BLA.Most of the nationalists baloch say that they support anything which is in baloch interests etc. Any of the major nationalist parties dont want to show their affliation with BLA .Balach marri is accused of having links with BLA and now the government has said that BLA activist were funded By bugti.
But like what happened in east pakistan when mukhti bahini was sponsored by India same goes for BLA which is also funded by a “foreign” country.
Shahid Ghauri has given 48 hours ultimatum to government to arrest the culprits and said this attack was from the series of attacks on leadership of Sunni Tehreek.
Sunni tehreek has setup a three members committee including (Shahid Ghauri, Qari Khaleel-ur-Rehman, Engr. Abdul Rehman) which will take care of all the happenings in Sunni Tehreek for now.
ALLAH AZZA WA JAL SAB SHUHADAA KO JANNAT-UL-FIRDOS MAIN AALAA MUQAAM ATAA FERMAYE AUR YEH ZULM KERNAY WALO KO IS DUNYA AUR AAKHIRAT DONO MAIN SAKHT SAZA DE
need some clarification here. were there any leading members from the b-team aka mma present in the gathering? their absence, if true, seems a little suspicious.
