Who's responsible for 18th Oct Bomb Blasts in Karachi - Govt, PPP, Jihadis!? (merged)

Really? More than 3 months passed, none of MQM/PPP leader was targetted, as soon as PPP chief arrives the jehadists found an "opportunity" to carry out one against her..... interesting.

Against MQM....that was the point.

Believe it or not but there are people in Pakistan who hold forensics and criminology degrees. Not everyone is content milking cows on their farm for the rest of their lives.

And good news, you wanted FBI to join in…happy now?

FBI men attend FIA meeting on Karachi blasts

ISLAMABAD: The FBI is taking an active interest in the ongoing investigation into the attack on Benazir Bhutto’s rally, with representatives of the US agency attending a briefing at the FIA headquarters on October 21. Sources told Daily Times that a team, led by an FBI official named Kevin who is posted at the US embassy in Islamabad, discussed various aspects of the attack with FIA officials. FIA Special Investigation Group Commandant Khalid Qureshi and forensic expert Major (r) Shafqat Malik led the FIA officials. US embassy spokeswoman Elizabeth Colton neither confirmed nor denied the meeting. “I can’t confirm the meeting. As for Kevin, there could be many officials of this name in the embassy.” azaz syed

and the point I made was that there are several MQM leaders who could've been targetted fairly easily but none so far.

Re: Who's responsible for 18th Oct Bomb Blasts in Karachi - Govt, PPP, Jihadis!? (mer

And my counterpoint was that jihadis do not want to take on MQM head on right now. They may be suicidal but they are not completely dumb. They could have also targeted army or PPP before lal masjid operation but they waited and concentrated elsewhere.

Re: Who's responsible for 18th Oct Bomb Blasts in Karachi - Govt, PPP, Jihadis!? (mer

MQM rallies are being held in strict security and it not so eary to approach a well guarded person travelling on road.

Re: Who's responsible for 18th Oct Bomb Blasts in Karachi - Govt, PPP, Jihadis!? (mer

Not as dumb as some posts on GS.

If Jehadis take MQM right on, what is MQM going to do? Send its mercenaries to FATA or Swat? MQM never has that much courage, they can only fire on unarmed civilians. Both these Jehadis and MQM i beleive have a common financer, anti-Pakistan afghan and Indians across the border.

Re: Who's responsible for 18th Oct Bomb Blasts in Karachi - Govt, PPP, Jihadis!? (mer

Suiciders do not need to approach the centre of a rally. They can do as much damage at the oter circle.

Re: Who's responsible for 18th Oct Bomb Blasts in Karachi - Govt, PPP, Jihadis!? (mer

Not to mention the fact that the MQMers are 'peechey sey var karney walley buzdil'... If such a thing happens i.e. suicide attacks on MQM leaders, all they will do is gun down the Pakhtuns living in Karachi for revenge, since its an ethnic fascist party.

Re: Who's responsible for 18th Oct Bomb Blasts in Karachi - Govt, PPP, Jihadis!? (mer

If you don't know history of what happened to Jamait in Karachi, don't talk. MQM members were killed daily by police, rangers and it's proxy forces, yet it faced the threats head on.

Re: Who's responsible for 18th Oct Bomb Blasts in Karachi - Govt, PPP, Jihadis!? (mer

The revenge factor might have held the jihadies to act against MQM so far.

Re: Who's responsible for 18th Oct Bomb Blasts in Karachi - Govt, PPP, Jihadis!? (mer

While your jihadis are content in blowing girls schools and CD shops. Such courage required for that right?

Re: Who's responsible for 18th Oct Bomb Blasts in Karachi - Govt, PPP, Jihadis!? (mer

Yes, unlike in FATA, jihadis in Karachi are not untouchable and can be picked out easily. Their terrorist compounds are not hidden from anyone.

Re: Who's responsible for 18th Oct Bomb Blasts in Karachi - Govt, PPP, Jihadis!? (mer

Then what is MQM doing about it?

Re: Who's responsible for 18th Oct Bomb Blasts in Karachi - Govt, PPP, Jihadis!? (mer

MQM is not the police force of Pakistan. If attacked things can change, and mullahs know this.

Re: Who's responsible for 18th Oct Bomb Blasts in Karachi - Govt, PPP, Jihadis!? (mer

Mostar

If revenge factor is not keeping the Jehadis to take on the mighty Pakistan army, what is MQM?

The raeson is clear, they both act for same goal, harming Pakistan.

Re: Who's responsible for 18th Oct Bomb Blasts in Karachi - Govt, PPP, Jihadis!? (mer

Once again, FATA and Karachi are very different. Attack on MQM leaders and workers is very different then attack on army patrols.

Re: Who's responsible for 18th Oct Bomb Blasts in Karachi - Govt, PPP, Jihadis!? (mer

You cant imagine what kind of revenge they can spree on!

Re: Who's responsible for 18th Oct Bomb Blasts in Karachi - Govt, PPP, Jihadis!? (mer

That can put Karachi in its worst kind of bloodshed.

Re: Who's responsible for 18th Oct Bomb Blasts in Karachi - Govt, PPP, Jihadis!? (mer

True and I think after jihadis run out of other options they will try this.
