Re: Terrorists attack Lahore
what is alarming for me is the failure to protect locations they should be able to protect better.
every one of these episodes has had the same pattern. the militants storm the building, take hold of it, then the security forces take it back. when you're holding a base dont you hold a significant advantage over the other party? this isnt like the hotel marriott where anyone can burst in. trying to take these bases should be like putting your hand in a hornets nest.
it isnt as if they're employing complicated planning and inside info. in the GHQ incident, all the terrorists had was army uniforms. how have they been functioning for so long? I imagine a lot of state secrets lie in the GHQ somewhere. how did they prevent indians from using the same strategy? skin colour?
not too many months ago this same police training facility was taken over and required an operation. why has it been hit successfully twice? it seems like they're sitting on their heels waiting for an attack and then counter attacking. while they are accomplishing the last admirably, their preparedness, on the face of it atleast, leaves much to be desired.
