Lal Masjid Siege Thread - Operation Silence (merged)

Re: Breaking News: Paramilitary Police clash with Lal Mosque idiots!

Why does this keep reminding me of the WACO incident !!!!

Re: Breaking News: Paramilitary Police clash with Lal Mosque idiots!

I would take Geo's reporting with a pinch of salt.

Re: Breaking News: Paramilitary Police clash with Lal Mosque idiots!

Apparently the students stole some police equipment and weapons, to which the police replied with tear gas…

Government still tolerating on Lal Masjid situation: Interior ministry
ISLAMABAD: The interior ministry has issued a statement that more than one hundred students snatched weapons and wireless from policemen near Jamia Hafsa at 11-30 after which the police used tear gas to disburse the students. The students in reply started firing.

The press release said that rangers’s one soldier was killed and five of their personnel were injured.

The interior ministry said that the government is still tolerating on the Lal Masjid situation. All the roads and streets leading to Lal Masjid have been closed.

The ministry said that the government is not taking any major action just to save the female students present there from any loss.

This is the first statement issued by the interior ministry after the Lal Masjid incident.

CNN showing little girls running among the Masjid women... Have to say, they are leaving their burqa clad older sisters in the dust :)
Seriously hope govt can negotiate a safe retreat for these girls before getting all the rest.

Re: Breaking News: Paramilitary Police clash with Lal Mosque idiots!

You are in Islamabad, can u call any friend who lives/works nearby this area

Re: Breaking News: Paramilitary Police clash with Lal Mosque idiots!

GEO UPDATE: GEO is quoting one minister (Zafar Waraich) that Govt will take action in next 24 hours. He warned opposition parties not to do politics over dead bodies. GEO's reporter is saying that there are chances tht rangers (and other forces) will enter LAL MASJID at night.....

Hope this ends with minimum death tool. LAL Masjid brothers should be captured live, should be tried and hanged publicly.

Re: Breaking News: Paramilitary Police clash with Lal Mosque idiots!

Why can't these people of Lal Masjid just leave the place to avoid anymore bloodshed?

Re: Breaking News: Paramilitary Police clash with Lal Mosque idiots!

Doctors at two hospitals said the five dead included two policemen, one soldier, a militant and a civilian. However, clerics at the mosque claimed that 10 of their supporters died, according to a lawmaker sent to mediate.

Re: Breaking News: Paramilitary Police clash with Lal Mosque idiots!

Oh for the love of God, stop trivializing the serious situation with your conspiracy theories of govt distractions. Yes, our intelligence services might have worked with the two mullahs years ago, but that doesn't mean they are currently ploying with them to get their own men killed.

Re: Breaking News: Paramilitary Police clash with Lal Mosque idiots!

Because all the "students" who are getting killed are brain washed while Abdul Rashid Ghazi and his brother (LAL MASJID CHIEF TERRORISTS) are relaxing safe somewhere inside LAL MASJID. Why would they leave? They will only leave when they will find themselves in danger.

I hope this ends in better way than WACO incident but there is lot of similarity b/w ABDUL RAHID GHAZI and DAVID KORESH

Re: Breaking News: Paramilitary Police clash with Lal Mosque idiots!

ARY has been exploiting tonight's incidents for cheap ratings. Extremely irresponsible behavior on their behalf. GEO has been okay. I hope all the people who were questioning the government for not establishing its write DO come out (in print and electronic media as well as in social circles) and don't let irresponsible journalists OR opposition parties exploit the situation. Also people with their conspiracy theories, who do it 'just for fun', act responsibly for once.

edit: write = writ

Re: Breaking News: Paramilitary Police clash with Lal Mosque idiots!

Just wait to watch DR SHAHID MASOOD show tonight at GEO. He will get cheaper than anyone else to get the rating high ! Also wait to listen to ANSAR ABBASI (worst of all) ..... wait for HAMID MIR ..... they all will do irresponsible reporting to get rating high !

Re: Breaking News: Paramilitary Police clash with Lal Mosque idiots!

That is Crazy…Just Gas them there will be no blood shed ! These brainwashed lal badmash gang is going to fight till all of them are Shaheedified !!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Re: Breaking News: Paramilitary Police clash with Lal Mosque idiots!

Most of the Lal Masjid gun holders are wearing GAS MASKS!!!

Re: Breaking News: Paramilitary Police clash with Lal Mosque idiots!

They are brainwashed baji jee... They are fighting to the death.
Sad consdering they could use that passion for far more productive ends... But these people have been brainwashed to waste their lives for a pointless cause.

Re: Breaking News: Paramilitary Police clash with Lal Mosque idiots!

this is stupid, the army had the place surrounded for weeks, and instead of a quick commando op, they turn it into daytime shootouts with full-fledged media coverage inside fight zone?!

Re: Breaking News: Paramilitary Police clash with Lal Mosque idiots!

Then..... Shaheed hone ke pooree tayari mein hai !!!!

Re: Breaking News: Paramilitary Police clash with Lal Mosque idiots!

Today is one of the most unfortunate days in Pakistan history.

Re: Breaking News: Paramilitary Police clash with Lal Mosque idiots!

I think Army knew that some circles will exploit the situation no matter when and how they took the action, so in my view they let the situation simmer so ordinary people can see how these lal masjid goons were acting above the law and themselves demanded the government to do something. I can see how the street sentiments might have been in favor of Lal Masjid 4 months ago. However, that is not the case today (unless of course ARY keeps exploiting the situation with false reports).
