I was happy to see that CMs of other provinces met the CM Hoti of NWFP and assure him their full support, including in helping set up war funds to help govt and people of NWFP. We should all make it clear that we stand with people of NWFP against terrorist killers & and together we will defeat the barbarians InshAllah.

**Peshawar remains the eye of a very horrific storm with suicide attacks occurring with such frequency that barely a day goes by without news of an attack in the NWFP capital. **

On Thursday, 22 people were killed in two attacks in the city, including a suicide attack that was apparently aimed at a judicial complex. In this tragically grim story there are some heroes emerging though: the policemen on the frontlines who are meant to stop and search individuals and cars that may be laden with bombs on their way to their targets.

In the attack against Peshawar’s judicial complex, three policemen were killed when they stopped the bomber from entering the main building of the complex. We salute these heroes who are defending the homeland against the most monstrous of enemies imaginable and we encourage the provincial and federal governments to equip law-enforcement personnel with all the resources possible so that they may be able to defend their own lives better.
There is another set of heroes in this otherwise bleak story of violence and death: medical personnel, doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers, emergency room attendants. A report in this newspaper yesterday gives an indication of the stress and pressure these heroes are working under: ‘Victims are pouring in almost daily now. We start our day with prayers that may Allah spare us from tragedy,’ Dr Ataullah Arif, surgeon in charge of the emergency ward [of Lady Reading Hospital], said. ‘We have been working under severe stress over the past two months. I can’t explain the situation in words. Very often there are bodies and blood, as rows of stretchers start flowing amid shouts and screams.’ These men and women are also deserving of our deepest gratitude — and of the best resources possible for them to do their jobs as well as they can. Quite literally, any problems faced in the medical chain are questions of life and death, the difference between a bombing victim surviving or dying. The people of Peshawar and NWFP need to know that the rest of Pakistan stands by them.

Unity is our only Weapon , that can defeat any power , be it USA , India , or Taliban , we need to realize that & have to Forget that we are Punjabi, Sindhi, Balochi or pathaan , we just need to remember that we are Just Pakistanis .

you know what really hurts, we the people of NWFP can not even come out of our houses but the central government and the people of Punjab and sindh are playing cricket and enjoying election in Gilgit like we the people of NWFP don't count.

That is sad. The selfishness of Punjab and Sindh is condemnable. Zardari or Gilani should visit NWFP and try to redress the grievences. Sooner the better. I hope that army will soon finish menace of jehadis in Waziristan.

We Pakistan stand firm with our brothers in Peshawar and NWFP, we will not leave them at these times, we have stood with them in past and we are standing with them today and would remain with them in future...

Where is Saudi, UAE & Sheikh Rasheed?

May Allah keep the people of Peshawar and NWFP safe and secure. We are with you in the hours of mourning. Every Pakistani feels your loss as they too have lost citizens and police officers and soldiers in other parts of the country.

This is the azmaish for the whole of Pakistan. I pray that suicide bombers see the light of the day, and realize that they cannot destroy us, instead they are destroying themselves. They are dispatching themselves straight to hell. Because no God can allow the terrorists, the killers of innocent civilians into heaven.

Peace and prosperity is just around the corner. We need to learn a lesson from the hashar of Afghanis, Somalians, and other tribal societies around the globe. We must not repeat the mistake of losing our national unity. Because if God-forbid, we lose unity, then the terrorists will pick up apart and rip our beautiful country into small peaces.

May Allah save our civilians, and protect our soldiers and jawans who are fighting a good fight, they are giving away their lives, so that Pakistan can survive.

Amen.

^ Well said.
Everyone is feeling it believe me. I talk to my parents in Karachi and hear all about it, what they are going through and feeling as well. Everyone is scared and paranoid and no place in Pakistan safe from suicide attacks. It can happen anywhere. We are all mourning !!!
