Agree,
And it make me remember how Rehman Malik brief media about timings of cell network blockage, i.e. specific timings, specific cities, and even specific part a city.
If rehman Malik telling that specific part of Lahore would unblocked as soon as possible, terrorist would likely adjust their routes and plans accordingly.

What logic or sense does it make to expose such information (if at all it is true) to the media? Not only are such ‘intelligence reports’ routinely outed by our esteemed interior ministry, local police officials gladly confirm them for the media (and for the terrorists).
This gives terrorists enough time and opportunity to alter their plans and adjust dates/methods etc accordingly. Thank you Interior ministry.

Pretty similar to what happens in Karachi, where the bandits and criminals are given advanced information of a raid, and are given ample time to escape. Look at the so-called Lyari operation. Everyone and their uncle got killed, but the actual culprits.

As far as I know, these intelligence reports are created and floated by military intelligence, forwarded to the interior ministry in order to get the police and paramilitary forces alert. But our interior ministry floats them in the media, somehow thinking that would be an intelligent move. General threats should be publicized, but specific threats should be dealt with in a targeted manner. Thats common logic.
