Pakistan can never be a failed state … the geographical lcoation will make sure of that. Pakistan is not some country in backwaters of Africa but it is located in the heart of a region with a number of world powers around !!!
Coming back to this attack … why did Pakistan team not leave at the same time !!! is there something Yunus Khan was aware of that he stooped Pakistan team from going with the Sri Lankans … raises questions that need to be answered
Pakistan’s cricketers came within a whisker of being caught up in the terrorist attack in Lahore this morning and owed their near-miss to a last-minute change of plan, according to the team’s coach. Intikhab Alam said that the captain, Younis Khan, decided not to leave for the stadium at the same time as the Sri Lankans as they had previously.
Re: Sri Lankan cricket team attacked in Lahore.
1) Kudos to Police, they fight to death these scum of earth terrorists
2) Army helicopters escort out rest of the team members from Gaddafi stadium
3) 5 Sri Lankan team members are wounded, Thank God none of them are died. President & PM called the Sri Lankan President.
4) PML-N (Ch. Nisar) is shyting about politics at this time too. These politcans are worst then shyt !
It states there were at least 14 gunmen and that the shootout with police lasted half an hour. Wouldn’t a 30 minute time frame allow at least half of the police units from Lahore to be on the scene, what about military forces? And a half hour shootout and no gunmen were killed? Did Lahore put a bird in the sky during the shootout?
Re: Sri Lankan cricket team attacked in Lahore.
Why is it such a crime to blame RAW? I have been to Sri Lankan discussion forums. They have a strong belief that RAW/India is involved. Pakistan has been providing military support to Sri Lanka to curb Indian sponsored terrorism there. India has most to gain from this incident, killing two birds with one stone.

Sri Lankan are right, this was the full commando type raid, they came in Rikshaws/Cars and start open fire from every where, its the police who fight them to death and save the Sri Lankan team.
Re: Sri Lankan cricket team attacked in Lahore.
If Indians are involved in this, i will assure everyone they will pay back big this time !

[
if you can, please watch Younis Khan’s press conference for your answer. I am sure Pakistani players, however heartless, would at least do something if they knew something was going on.
I respect you aam bandha for being blunt, but this is not imaginable from any sane person to know something like this and not act! Unless, you believe Younis is not sane because of his last name.](“Pakistan | The Guardian”)

Sure. But I think this statement should be broadened to say ANYONE involved in this should pay BIG.
Why is it such a crime to blame RAW?
It is not crime to blame RAW. But I would say don't be like Hindu fundamentalists who blame ISI for everything. Let the investigations continue, and only then blame the real culprits.
Re: Sri Lankan cricket team attacked in Lahore.
it is not supposed to be funny but I am really enjoying India bashing going on in SL forums!
Just a glimpse:

"Chennaiguuy... dont stop mate carry on... its not far there will be a day that you have to poo on a land mine since your street is filled with LTTE land mines. Just imagine how you going to keep your tradition of street pooing in Chennai... your losers probably need a street pooing museum for future generations since Chennai LTTE goon s already started fighting against Indian govt."
*crazy crazy people all around! I think I'm done with GS :D

And Altaf bhai was busy holding rallies to condemn bb's poster burning
Zardari was busy setting up extra judicial courts to undermine the long march
Salman Taseer, the governor of Punjab, who has taken over Punjab now was also busy in horse trading and is responsible for this security lapse.
Re: Sri Lankan cricket team attacked in Lahore.
Who was behind this attack will surely come out as the investigation proceeds. But Pak government is surely responsible for the lack of security arrangements for the SL team despite them getting numerous threats in Pakistan.

DAWN.COM | World | India denounces ?hopelessly inadequate? Pakistani security
NEW DELHI: India denounced ‘hopelessly inadequate’ Pakistani security after Tuesday’s attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore and cited Islamabad’s failure to crush militant groups on its soil.
‘The security for the Sri Lankan cricket team was hopelessly inadequate,’ Home Minister P. Chidambaram said as he condemned the assault by gunmen that left eight people dead and wounded seven team members.
The Indian government, which had ordered its players to steer clear of Pakistan, said the incident proved Islamabad was doing nothing to combat known militant networks.
‘It reminds us it is the responsibility of the incumbent government to take all precautions and all steps, particularly when the international community wants member countries to take certain positive steps to fight against terrorism,’ Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee told reporters.
‘Unless infrastructure and facilities available to terrorist organisations within Pakistan or territory under its control are completely dismantled… repetition of these incidents will take place,’ he said.
New Delhi has been pressuring Islamabad to crack down on militant groups and dismantle their training camps since the Mumbai attacks last November.
The Sri Lankan team was only in Pakistan because a tour by the Indian team had been cancelled in the wake of the Mumbai attacks.
‘It was not a pleasant decision (to cancel) but we were constrained to take it because the security situation in Pakistan was not safe,’ Mukerjee said, calling on Islamabad to “take strict measures” against those responsible.
‘This menace, which is the biggest menace… in the post Cold War era, should be tackled,’ he said
Indian foreign ministry spokesman Vishnu Prakash also piled pressure on Islamabad, saying Pakistan-based ‘terrorists’ were a threat to the entire world.
‘It is in Pakistan’s own interest to take prompt, meaningful and decisive steps to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure once and for all,’ Prakash said.
‘We are shocked at the incident,’ he added.
India’s Minister of State for External Affairs Anand Sharma said the attack underscored ‘the enormity of the threat’ emerging from Pakistan, while India’s governing Congress party branded Pakistan ‘the epicentre and fountainhead of terror.’
‘Every country in the world must unite against this scourge by isolating the country and demanding immediate concrete results,’ Congress spokesman Abhishek Singhvi said.

All of this happened before today incident, but Ch. Nisar chawal insaan was barking right after 2 hours. Pakistan don't deserve politicians at all !

So what did he say, and if he did, he has a reason too, this governor rule was uncalled for, and we all know what a liability salman taseer is. he should resign ASAP.
Re: Sri Lankan cricket team attacked in Lahore.
Indian press (The Hindu) reported that Geo TV said that of the 4 arrested people, 2 of them were found to possess weapons. Anyone watching Geo and can confirm?
Geo’s website says that police found the car that was used was purchased 15 days ago. The owner has been arrested. Attackers purchased vehicle 15-day ago - GEO.tv
So what did he say, and if he did, he has a reason too, this governor rule was uncalled for, and we all know what a liability salman taseer is. he should resign ASAP.
what the heck governer rule has to do with today massacre? If this happened in Shahaz gov.. will he resigned? ..leave the rhetoric aside... ch. nisar chawal insaan.. may he die right now, did the wrong thing.. politics can go to hell, Pakistan come first !
are you being sarcastic right 
.. joke of the day
I remember Pak Govt promised foolproof VVIP(or president ) level security to Lankan cricketers when they agreed to tour. Also it seems SL team management requested additional security couple of days before due to the outrage in Pak after Sharifs disqualification.
Did SL team get the level of the security promised and requested?
Moreover, I think the presence of mind and courage of the bus driver saved the SL team rather than the security that was in place. Please note that I'm not belittling the sacrifices of security personnels.
Fool proof !!! but these terrorists are no fools … Sri Lanka did ask for additional security … guess they were aware of the fragile security situation in Pakistan
Lanka asks to beef up security in Lahore: Cricket Next
Sri Lankan team management has asked for beefed up security during their stay in Lahore for the second Test following protests against disqualification of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his brother from contesting elections or holding public office.
