This is very Bad and inhuman... Pakistan will have to pay for this and a Strict action is now expected from other nations

[desiibond]

Strict action from other nations??

The only difference between Pakistan and Afghanistan is the name. Any terrorist who wants to safe their head is moving to Pakistan, thanks to their government.

Things hav changed after Zardari overtook musharraf

5 Police men killed..8 players injured (some of them serious) and the 12 terrorists escaped unhurt!! Wtf ???

Next step by Pakistan Government: Sign a peace treaty with those 12 terrorists and their organization!!

[techani]

This is such a terrible thing! What r they trying to prove to the world? And what r the authorities doing? Its all the same in Pakistan everybody is working hand-in-glove to take over the land and use it for their own purposes. Now I think USA should extend their drone attack to bigger cities of Pakistan.

We should cut off all international ties with Pak, and urge all the other nations to do the same. WTF!!!

[gaurav_indian]

If anyone of you visits Paki forums you will see they are blaming RAW and Tamil Tigers for this attack.This shows how dumb they are.They will keep denying it until Taliban takes over Pakistan.

Bunch of loosers targeted a team which went there to show everyone that pakistan is safe to play cricket.

Then-anger:

the anger in the cricket community across the border, which has lashed out at India for deciding against touring.

now-apology:

Pak minister: We apologise to Lanka govt

http://www.ndtv.com/convergence/ndtv/default.aspx

[red_devil]

wonder what they did achieve by targeting cricketers

guess its only an attempt to show Pak in disarray to the international community...whatever be the case...Pak needs some serious surgery !!

[Coool]

With this No team will visit pak to play cricket for atleast 2 years...
No team will play World cup in pak.World cup Out of pak

[desiibond]

^^ and out of Subcontinent.

LTTE in Lanka and Taliban in Pak has seriously dented hopes.

I strongly think it needs more of an amputation rather than a surgery.

They will sure unearth some underpaid guy name him "Satish" or something, make him own up the attack on behalf of R.A.W. or even worse the B.C.C.I.

[amitabhishek]

^^+1

[red_devil]

^ not as simple as you think...[satish n stuff]

and as regards to the "amputation" ..what do you expect to happen ?? they can't just declare a few of their states as independent or anything..they'll have to live with what they have...they either have to kick out terrorists out of the country or surrender to the whims n fancies of the terrorists [and sign a few more peace deals]

eitherways, Pak will become the next Afghanistan [if it hasn't become one already ]

Read the post again after few days of paki developments . Never "misunderestimate" what ISI can /cannot do.

by amputation, i meant paki's should amputate ties with terror groups rather than simple surgery like the swat valley ceasefire initiated to hoodwink both itself and world community into thinking "Good" taliban and bad taliban.

The endgame is approaching faster than they think.

This is what they are saying right now :
"I want to say it's the same pattern, the same terrorists who attacked Mumbai," Salman Taseer, governor of central Punjab province, told reporters at the site of the attack.

Then this will change to Kasab involved in attack . then to Kasab killed in encounter.

Do not know why some people in Pak are sooooooooooooooo dumb and never even believe that terrorists are inside Pak itself !

Extreme brainwashing ?

Why are you surprised about it? They have always blamed Indians for everything.

News says that Pak govt. has given an apology but what's the point? How many times are they going to commit sin and then apologize for it. It's seriously time to take some real actions and not just play with words and escape the scenario.

Perhaps this has got something to do the religion itself.
Correct me if im wrong and dont shoot me, but what Ive heard and seen is that terrorism is practiced within the walls of majid's and madrasa's and its such an emotional issue, that its tough for the govermnet to crack down on such religios places, because clearly people would support those places and not the government.
