Re: Terrorist Attack on Police training school in Manawan
I have been watching 4 Pak news channels LIVE and it's still not clear how many terrorists were captured alive.
IT was 4 then 3 then 5 then only ONE and then 3 but just heard IG police saying that only ONE terrorist was captured alive.
Re: Terrorist Attack on Police training school in Manawan
Something doesn't smell right. What happened to the 200 recruits still in the building? Nothing happened to them? And I doubt they captured any jihadis, I bet they escaped or blew themselves up.
Re: Terrorist Attack on Police training school in Manawan

Re: Terrorist Attack on Police training school in Manawan
Public has to be vigilant now and look out for anything suspicious. Their operations are getting sophisticated by the day but this time our law enforcement agencies were better prepared for this. Hopefully we'll soon find out who was behind this.
Salute to these men who gave their lives defending our nation.
The BBC story on this has a nice video. The paramilitaries, having fought through to the top of the building, celebrate their victory by screaming to those down below “Allahu Akbar”
I like the symbolism of that. True Muslims triumphing over the enemies of Islam and of the Ummah that carried out this attack.
BBC NEWS | South Asia | Lahore police academy ‘retaken’
Also, look at pictures 3 and 4 in the BBC photo page on this incident. The police officers getting ready for the assault all have have body armour, in photo 3. Photo 4 is of Army soldiers moving in, without any body armour.
Re: Terrorist Attack on Police training school in Manawan
Salute to Police, Elite Force, Rangers, Army Aviation & Intelligence Bureau. The operation is handled with extraordinary wisdom.
Hundreds of people gathered outside Training Center, helping the security forces. Indeed a great mindset changed happened in local population, a strong blow to Taliban/Extremists/Al-Qaeda/Indian's.
Their were reports surfing from the last few months about the security conditions in Punjab, its happened but handled beautifully, Pakistan security forces deserve highest possible praise for this. Just look at out neighbor how miserably they handled Mumbai Siege!
Re: Terrorist Attack on Police training school in Manawan
cowardly attack by anti Pakistan assets/agents what ever you call them, and good and quick reply by all the joint forces- well done.
want to know how it was co ordinated between several different forces, though target was same lunatics/goons/thugs of enemies of Pakistan to portray wrong and terrorised image of Pakistan as nation, failed again! was it co ordinated response unit under one or several command units?
its also a good lesson how to react in such incidents.
The ending of operation
Re: Terrorist Attack on Police training school in Manawan
I just hope that the people caught alive are actual terrorists and that they can get real information from them.
Re: Terrorist Attack on Police training school in Manawan
I was listening to the california radio news in the morning on my way to work and the Islamabad correspondent and the news anchor was sooo sure that it was some jihadi organization inside pak who has done this , acc to them pak govt is blaming outside forces but they hav done it before and its time they shud do something abt inside forces and they were directly pointing on religious organization and madarsaas of Pakistan, also acc to them its not taliban and its not india
and i was like dude how do u know that, at that time the terrorist were even not captured, no interrogation done, but still so sure like 100% ,
Looks like we got good intelligence out of this.
Hopefully it will lead to even greater priority being placed on smashing Baitullah Masood, his men, and their supporters.
Pakistani troops recapture Lahore police academy
Interior Ministry chief Rehman Malik said the militants were believed to be fighters loyal to Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud who had come from the South Waziristan tribal region.
“The entire planning was done there,” Malik told a news conference in Lahore.
He said one of the men captured was an Afghan who arrived in eastern city 15 days earlier and had rented a house there.
“Some of his accomplices have been identified, while others are in the process of being identified,” Malik said.
But it was utterly irresponsible of police to fire indiscriminately in air with so many people around. I hope with time more professionalism comes.

Lets say culture kicked in, and please don't expect professionalism of NYPD by LPD !
Terrorists overpowered in Manawan attack, 13 killed
Terrorists overpowered in Manawan attack, 13 killed
LAHORE: Security forces overpowered militants who seized a police academy in the Manawan area on Lahore’s outskirts early Monday. Six people were arrested.
Eight gunmen died, including two who blew themselves up, Punjab’s Home Secretary Rao Iftikhar said.
Iftikhar said he will provide a more exact death toll from the brazen assault later Monday.
Earlier, the Associated Press said four of the gunmen who attacked the academy were killed, while a fifth was in custody.
Separately, more explosions were heard inside the academy where terrorists used machine guns and grenades to launch an attack, leaving at least 13 policemen dead and over 90 wounded, Dawn News reported.
Interior Ministry chief Rehman Malik said 52 police were wounded in the attack but gave no word on the number killed.
Punjab Governor Salman Taseer said the authorities had reports of four people confirmed killed, though several television news channels put the number of dead at 20.
A passerby was also killed during the exchange of fire, a Dawn correspondent said.
‘I have counted 12 bodies but I don’t know exactly how many have been killed,’ said Mohammad Raza, a police officer.
Army and paramilitary troops laid a siege, firing from rooftops of surrounding buildings, while the terrorist gunmen in police uniforms returned fire and threw grenades to keep security forces at bay.
Governor Taseer said up to 10 gunmen carried out the assault, though one wounded policeman told a news channel there were up to 20 gunmen in the compound.
The gunmen had taken 400 police trainees hostage, Dawn News reported earlier.
The assault came less than a month after a dozen gunmen attacked Sri Lanka’s cricket team in Lahore, killing six police guards and a bus driver. Those gunmen escaped.
The training centre is on the outskirts of the city, on the road to the nearby border with India.
‘It’s a continuation of the series of attacks carried out by the terrorists,’ Taseer told journalists, adding that a curfew has been imposed in the area.
ATTACKED DURING MORNING DRILL
Police official Sukhera said around 850 young cadets attended the training centre but police were unsure how many were inside at the time of the attack, which began at around 07:30 a.m.
Television channels said several hundred trainees were at the centre when the attackers, some dressed as policemen, struck. Taseer said some were in civilian clothes and wore masks.
An eyewitness told Reuters the gunmen attacked in groups of three or four from four sides, and lobbed grenades before opening sweeping fire on cadets assembled on the parade ground.
The attack came as the police recruits were doing their routine morning drills, said a police officer.
A police armoured personnel carrier (APC) entered the compound and an exchange of fire, including what appeared to be a grenade explosion, broke out, a Reuters photographer at the scene said. The APC then withdrew.
One television station showed about a dozen police lying on a parade ground. Some appeared lifeless while others were crawling to cover.
An army helicopter circled overhead, and police and soldiers were seen carrying wounded to ambulances.
Advisor to the Prime Minister on Interior Rehman Malik said our police is not trained for such encounters, adding that the possibility of foreign involvement cannot be ruled out.
President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Yousuf Raza Gilani condemned the attack and have ordered an investigation into the incident, Dawn News reported.
INDIA CONDEMNS ATTACK
Indian officials condemned the attack saying it threatened security across the region.
‘We are deeply concerned. We condemn these terror attacks, we condemn all terror attacks and we offer our sympathies to the government and the people of Pakistan,’ Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram told reporters in New Delhi.
The Indian army’s second-in-command Lieutenant General Noble Thamburaj told the NDTV news channel that the military was ‘watching the situation very carefully.’
‘Indian armed forces are prepared at all times should there be a spill-over’ into neighbouring India, he said.
Something doesn't smell right. What happened to the 200 recruits still in the building? Nothing happened to them? And I doubt they captured any jihadis, I bet they escaped or blew themselves up.
I guess u r dissappointed with the end results... you were accepting some big damages out of this, more bad name for Pakistan as its forces are not capable to handle terrorists and then you can get back to ur propoganda that American soldiers should walkin to care of things as they are doing it in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Never seen a constructive thing about Paksitan from you and ur other MQM friends....
