shiaa terrorists in Bahrain are targeting Pakistani residents and have already killed many. The Embassy has called upon people who feel unsafe in their homes to seek protection in the Pakistan School and the Pakistan Urdu School.
Please if you have any friends/relatives in Bahrain check on them to make sure they are safe. These terrorists are killing them very brutally moving around in groups of 50-60 carrying huge swords and other weapons.
The army with the help of the GCC has started to take actions against these people to protect the public.
Also please Note that these are the same people who have been lying to the world claiming to be peaceful protestors.
^^ Things are already getting ugly, this would make Pakistan to interfere and handle the issue by sending its forces 20,000 troops from Pakistan should be able to control the situation and provide security...
I remember reading somewhere that a lot of people in Bahrain's army/security forces are of pakistani origin. Maybe the mobs are just angry at the role Pakistanis are playing in the continued oppression of the people.
However, as we have seen, the Arabs are idiots, pretty dangerous idiots and not to be trusted. They are no friends of ours.
This is really sad, and innocent Pakistanies are getting caught in the crossfire. Bahrain has been recruiting Pakistani mercenaries for a long time. We saw this in Libya as well where blacks were being victimized because Gaddafi was recruiting black mercenaries.

Ah, hay answers my question about why. So all Pakistaniworkers are also suspected as mercenaries.
*i've just checked the news and i did NOT hear any news of any selective killings in Bahrain [let alone massacre of Pakistanis]...is it just a RUMOR? *
Poorly written and biased article. I wonder should every country who has its citizens in Bahrain armed forces be called exporting mercenaries. Ties between Pakistan armed forces and gulf states are very old. Since 1960 army and naval officers have been deployed in gulf on deputation and many of them after retirement joined the gulf forces due to better salaries. There were no protests when they joined Bahrain forces. Most gulf states including Bahrainis used to send their officers to Pakistan for training.

Who does have citizens in Bahrain armed forces? Do you think thats normal, do you think if thousands of Arabs or Americans started coming into Pakistan army that would be a normal thing?

That it is an old practice is something the article notes as well. That there were no protests is not surprising, protests in the Gulf are unprecedented till now. Sending officers for training is one thing, recruiting thousands of soldiers is another, especially when they start repressing a local uprising.
There are a lot of Syrians, Jordanian, Palestinians and Sudanies in Bahraini forces. How do we know that there havent been any recruitment drive in those countries?

There may have been. Who knows? We do know there are thousands of Pakistani mercenaries, and this is the legal definition for them:
[quote]
A mercenary is a man who takes part in an armed conflict, who is not a national or a party to the conflict, and is "motivated to take part in the hostilities essentially by the desire for private gain and, in fact, is promised, by or on behalf of a party to the conflict, material compensation substantially in excess of that promised or paid to combatants of similar ranks and functions in the armed forces of that Party"
