I just talked to him.He told both the players who got bullet shots are okay-no critical injuries Alhamdulillah.One had a bullet hit on his leg,other got it in his chest but the bullet remained outside the chest-cage luckily.3-4 players had minor injuries who have been sent back to their hotel after wound dressings.

Re: Sri Lankan cricket team attacked in Lahore.

I am shocked and saddened at what has happened and thank Allah that the SL team is safe and no one got killed.

May Allah grant Jannah to all those killed and hope the animals who did this rot in hell.

The SL team came to Pakistan to help Pakistan cricket and now no one will will come to play in Paksitan.

Re: Sri Lankan cricket team attacked in Lahore.

It is sad that most of the posters here believe that the blasts were planned by RAW. It is one thing to burry you head in the sad. Here I can say is that the only organ out of the sand is the hand which is continously typing without any respite. Time to wake up and smell the coffee guys :disgust:

Re: Sri Lankan cricket team attacked in Lahore.

Maybe India is involved or maybe not. Remember when the first bullets had fired in Mumbai and at that stage without any proof the whole of India was saying Pakistan. So how is this different and tell me one thing what is RAW doing in Afghanistan - drinking tea and having vacation?

52

i must say salutes to Jawans who lost their lived, despite the heavy and concentrated attack by 10-12 gunman they couldnt get near to their target and cause heavy casualties.

53

don,t be sad such pathological idiot people are lakhs and lakhs in pakistan and india who immediately jump and bring news like raw and isi is responsible for any riot accident and killing ,only god can save us from such** ''JAAHILS''**

54

no sir they are not doing any thing like isi was doing in afghanistan back in eighties when pakistan was fighting side by side with taaliban against govt. of nazibulla . isi was active in sabotaging the afghan infrastructure light water roads were blasted by savage tribals with active participation of isi general gul and enjoying the money of amerika . for your kind information indian companies are busy in rebuilding infrastucture of afghanistan ,not killing people nor taking part in .now dont give the news that india has opened 200 military consulates along border of pakistan. we dont have so much resource to spend for the country whose integrity towords india still has to be proved

55

According to minister Nabeel Gabol, India is involved in the attack...as the weapons used in the attack were made in INDIA...

Re: Sri Lankan cricket team attacked in Lahore.

Regardless of who is behind the attacks, ****aan taseer should take the responsibility for lapse in security and should resign. I won't be surprised if chooranwala is going to arrange another rally to support taseer on his failure of governance.

57

discussing the news is not a thrill yours is a hopeless case get some psychological
therapy

                                             thank you
58

well the attack could have another warning in disguise...for sharif brothers'/long march...as they can force them to curtail their political activities due to security reasons...who ever committed the crime...the fact remains that a security lapse was there...

Q+A-Who could have attacked Sri Lanka’s cricketers? | Reuters

Gunmen attacked a bus carrying the Sri Lankan cricket team in the Pakistani city of Lahore on Tuesday, wounding six players, officials said.

**
A senior Pakistani official said the raid bore the hallmarks of the same militants who attacked India’s financial capital Mumbai in November. India and the United States blamed the militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba for the three-day assault on Mumbai.
**

Following are the major militant groups operating in Pakistan who could be behind the attack.

**LASHKAR-E-TAIBA **
Lashkar-e-Taiba or “army of the pure” is one of the largest Islamic militant groups in South Asia, based in Pakistan and fighting Indian rule in Kashmir. Security analysts say it is a well-funded and highly organised group that sympathises with al Qaeda.
A charity linked to the group was headquartered at Muridke town, outside Lahore, and most LeT fighters were drawn from surrounding Punjab province. Pakistan raided the group and shut down the charity after it came under pressure from India following the attacks in Mumbai in which nearly 170 people were killed.
India charged the group’s founder Hafiz Mohammad Saeed and other senior members Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi and Zarar Shah for the attack. The group denied it was involved.

Tehrik-e-Taliban
The Tehrik-e-Taliban is led by Baitullah Mehsud, an al Qaeda ally, and has been accused of being behind a wave of suicide attacks that have rocked Pakistan since mid-2007, including one that killed former prime minister Benazir Bhutto in December 2007. The Tehrik-e-Taliban or Movement of Taliban, Pakistan, is a loose umbrella group of factions based in northwest Pakistan. Mehsud is based in the South Waziristan region. He is fighting to establish a puritanical Islamic society based on Sharia law.

**
JAISH-I-MOHAMMAD **
This group, led by Maulana Masood Azhar, was banned along with Lashkar in 2002 following an attack on the Indian parliament. Like LeT, it carried out suicide attacks in Kashmir, but it has also been named for attacks in Pakistan. In March 2002, a Jaish fighter killed four people, including two Americans, in an attack on a church in Islamabad.
A Jaish connection was made to one of the assassination attempts on then President Pervez Musharraf in December 2003, and there was a Jaish presence at the Red Mosque uprising in Islamabad in 2007. Jaish members have also surfaced in tribal areas bordering Afghanistan. Pakistan said Masood was among those detained following the November attacks on Mumbai, but then denied he was being held.

** BALUCH GROUPS **
Several guerrilla groups are waging a low-key insurgency in gas-rich Baluchistan province on the border with Afghanistan. Some have taken responsibility for small attacks in Lahore in the past. A group calling itself the Baluchistan Liberation United Front (BLUF) claimed responsibility for the kidnapping of an American working for the United Nations a month ago. The attack on the Sri Lankan team is on a vastly different scale to anything carried out by any Baluch group.

**
OUTSIDE PAKISTAN – SRI LANKA’S TAMIL TIGERS **

In Sri Lanka, official suspicion will fall on the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a rebel group close to military defeat in northern Sri Lanka and which has a long history of carrying out deadly guerrilla attacks. There has been no clear evidence the Tigers have operations or links to Pakistan.
Pakistan has good relations with Sri Lanka and has given training and supplied arms to the Sri Lankan military fighting the Tamil Tiger rebels.
