Re: Explosion at Islamabad airport [Merged]
^ Nahee yar, the long beards are just the loudmouth maulana jees and mollahs, they have nothing to do with this, like I was telling kehkashan in the other thread. These are members of the rogue suicide squadron, and driving civlians away from the city like you suggested isnt going to do any good. To prevent more attacks at this airport, it really needs to be moved somewhere else, as whre it stands right now, couldnt be a worse spot for an airport to be, in terms of safety, planes disturbing residence areas, the infamous 'bird' problem (birds flying around heaps of garbage and causing problems to the planes) etc.
Re: Explosion at Islamabad airport [Merged]
Yeah Spock the Isb Airport's shifting is long due now, I'm glad the decade old plans are now finally going to start seeing action. The place has become unsuitable over the past decade even more so with security issues, and the Capital deserves a grand airport too.

Airport suicide bomber identified;

Re: Explosion at Islamabad airport [Merged]
So the current theory is that he was an assassin, rather than a suicide bomber…
*The evidences also suggest that the man was not on a suicide mission but on a target killing mission, although his target did not seem to be a high-profile personality," the sources said.
The attacker was carrying four hand-grenades and two pistols. Apparently, the grenades were to be used by him for an easy escape. But one of the grenades he was carrying exploded during an exchange of fire with security personnel.*
