Re: Sri Lankan cricket team attacked in Lahore.
[mod]there is no relevance of Mumbai attacks here, especially till the identity of the attackers is established. please post sensibly and without trying to offend the sensibilities of people. offending posts will be moved. If you wish to compare the behaviour of pakistani and indian police, please open a seperate thread.[/mod]
Now even Imran Khan is speaking about the lax security arragments ..
DAWN.COM | ? Punjab | Sri Lankan team not given enough protection Imran
Former Pakistan captain Imran Khan blamed lax security for Tuesday’s gun and grenade attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team, saying officials must be held to account for the incident
Maybe they should take lessons from ‘some other polciyaz’ on how to kill the terrorists, instead of letting all 12 of them escape

Gunmen attacked a bus carrying the Sri Lankan cricket team in the Pakistani city of Lahore on Tuesday (March 3), wounding six players, officials said. **(Read more)
**Investigators release sketches of the twelve terrorists on the run and meanwhile, four suspects were arrested. A bag of ammunition was however, recovered from near the scene of the encounter.
Clearly the militants were armed for the cleverly planned and implemented ambush of the Sri Lankan team bus. The militants had rocket launchers, hand grenades and Kalashnikovs. Even jackets wired with explosives were recovered from the scene of the encounter.
Besides this, two car bombs were defused in Lahore, within an hour of the attack on Sri Lankan cricketers.
**
Who could have attacked Sri Lankan cricketers?**
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 (LeT)
**
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 over 180 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.

Re: Sri Lankan cricket team attacked in Lahore.
^ Tamil Tigers? 
Also, why did they leave out some of the hardcore Hindutva terrorist parties? Bal Thackerey has been known to support suicide attacks against Muslims and had ordered cricket grounds to be targeted before too. Also, whatever happened to RAW?
I am sure even you would be aware that LTTE has animosity towards SL.
The hardcore Hindutva parties do not have anything against SL, and they are not known to conduct attacks of this nature either internally or externally.
As for RAW, I am sure you would know more than anyone else what happened to it 
Look at the scene, they were under attacked from three sides with more then 12-16 gunmen, and these scum of earth was firing indiscriminately? What do you expect? Retreat of course !
I salute to bravery of our police

And how do the hindutva parties feel about Muslims and Pakistanis?
I don’t know what you are trying to say, can you be more elaborate?
Re: Sri Lankan cricket team attacked in Lahore.
We should have to admit that RAW is performing very well agaist us.
Reasons
Unlike Pakistani agencies they are never involved in their national politics.
They are not money makers
and aboveall
RAW is totally civilian organisation.
Re: Sri Lankan cricket team attacked in Lahore.
I just hope something remotely similar don't happen in India as this could trigger something at a large scale
I hope security there is beefed up
Those who don't know should thank the late Zia-ul-Haq and his Son for sowing Jehadi's Set-up and today Pakistan foremost and it's neighbors r reaping it's fruits
And how do the hindutva parties feel about Muslims and Pakistanis?
They might feel anything, but they have never ever enacted anything like 26/11 or this incident even in India. So forget about doing something like that outside India.
This incident screams "made in Pakistan" :p And now you dont even have to worry about "where is the proof" or play any denial games. All the proof will be there in your own backyard.

I would actually take that as a compliment, except for the fact that I think you guys over-estimate RAW and under-estimate local Jehadi elements in Pak. You don't need RAW or Mossad, there are enough troublemakers in your backyard.

Re: Sri Lankan cricket team attacked in Lahore.
India and indeed the entire non-muslim world now has pakistan by the balls. And I am afraid this is the end of pakistan as we know it where fate of pakistan will eventually resemble that of kashmir or iraq or some other failed state. The cricket shootout incident will in fact be proven as the straw that now only will break the camel's back but turn the entire world community against pakistan.
. All the proof will be there in your own backyard.
I think it is no longer in the "backyard" .... it is out there in the open though some people still refuse to see it !!!!!

i) Pakistan is the victim here, in case you failed to realize, the 8 people who died werent foriegners, they were Pakistani
ii) We'll see about who breaks whose back.
I don't know what you are trying to say, can you be more elaborate?
Sorry for being confusing. I'm just expressing my disbelief that a 30 minute shootout can occur only 3.1 miles from the police headquarters without proper backup being dispatched. One would think that once a call went out that police officers were under fire that the entire area would have been swarming with police and choppers in minutes considering that the area under attack was so close to the police HQ.
And I am afraid this is the end of pakistan as we know it where fate of pakistan will eventually resemble that of kashmir or iraq or some other failed state. .
I wouldn't go so far as to say that it will be end of Pakistan ..... but in the last few months Iraq has seen much more stability then Pakistan. In the two months of 2009 there have been about 300-400 killings in Iraq against more then 1200 in Pakistan!!!!!
Kashmir has had almost neglegible human loss comapred to the two !!!!

LOL,,, I find this hilarious comming from an Indian. entire world community!!!! .. bet ya 90 percent of the world community don't know where S. Asia is.
What do you think the Lahore Police is, the LAPD?
One time an entire building burned down in Lahore and the fire fighters were 1 hour late.
When people asked why were they late, they said they were called by the Governor to water his lawn.
This is Pakistan. A joke of a country.
