Terrorists on the Rampage in Pakistan - 8 Bombings





There have been more than half a dozen bomb blasts in Pakistan today, Friday 12 March 2010.


Friday is day of the week held sacred by all Muslims.



40 people were killed and a 100 others injured in twin suicide attacks near RA Bazaar bus terminal in the Lahore Cantoment area.


Two suicide bombers had entered the bus terminus somehow, and blew themselves up near buses 15-20 seconds apart.



According to media reports IGP Tariq Salim Dogar claimed “Police have found some solid technical evidence from the spot which will help in investigation,” He said such solid evidence has not been found from any blast site in the past.


Five army men were among the dead, Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah said, adding, bodies of both attackers had been found. They looked like tribal men.


Later, after these deadly twin suicide attacks in Lahore Cantonment Lahore’s Moon Market was struck with five low intensity blasts within an hour of each other.


No casualties have been reported in the explosions, only minor injuries that needed first aid treatment.


The first blast occurred in Kashmir Block near Moon Market which had only three months earlier been reduced to ashes.


The second explosion took place in Iqbal Town’s Kashmir block in front of Group Captain Pakistan Air Force, Inam-ul-Haq’s home.


The third blast took place in Iqbal Town’s Muslim Block in front of Edhi Welfare and Ambulance and Rescue 1122 offices.


The fourth blast occurred outside the home of DSP Punjab Police, Khalid Javed Chaudhry in Iqbal Town’s Karim Block.


The fifth blast also took place in Iqbal Town area


Up in the north of the country, 4 people were killed and 25 injured in a powerful bomb attack near the Bara Qadeem checkpost close to a market on the Bara Road on Thursday. Eight of the injured were children playing near the site of the blast.


Local people said it was a suicide attack. One of them told reporters he had seen three people coming from the Bara side of the Khyber Agency. Two of them returned and the third was near the market when the blast took place.


But a bomb disposal official said the blast was caused by a time-bomb which appeared to have been placed on a table near a music centre in the market.


The city of Peshawar is the capital of the North West Frontier Province bordering Afghanistan and the scene of a long war of attrition between the Pakistan Armed Forces and Tehreek Taliban Pakistan terrorist group.

The dead count in the R A Bazar, Lahore Cantonment bombings has now reached 57, with a few still on the precarious list.


That day there were actually 10 bombings in Lahore. Two of those may have happened after the above post was posted.

Shouldn't have been even one.

The latest confirmed death toll is 61 killed.

This tragic situation in Pakistan is engendered by Pakistan's Pakistan's participation in the so-called Afghan "Jihad" and will take a very long time to be remedied.


It was the greed and hypocrisy of the "Islamist" General Mohammad Zia ul Haq which brought this blight to Pakistan, resulting in the loss of tens of thousands of lives and hundreds of billions in economic losses.

Zia ul Haq is perhaps the ONLY person to reach the rank of a General in Pakistan Army whose GOC once wrote in his (Zia's) ACR that he (Mohammad Zia ul Haq) was a person NOT FIT TO BE AN OFFICER IN THE PAKISTAN ARMY.


Subsequent events proved that GOC right thousands of time over.


I cannot recall a single act of Zia which was in Pakistan's interest.

I have spent most of my life in Lahore until I got married.


Lahore is a wonderful and lovely, a lovable place, and used to be a city that really enchanted visitors even in my childhood though the rot that the Zia and PML-N and PML-Q governments brought with them had set in, but it started to show, and then assert itself during Nawaz Sharid's tenure as Chief Minister Punjab and still later as twice Prime Minister of Pakistan.


Musharraf came along and accelerated that process of decay and decadence.


Today, when the mothers and sisters, the wives of the Lahoris see off their men in the mornings and say "Khayr naal jaao, khayr nall aao" it is not just a tradition to say a prayer for the safety of someone going out of the home.


It is a sincere beseeching to Allah, coming from the very depths of their hearts.


No woman in Lahore is today sure that her loved ones going out of the home will return home alive.

This so true, and not only for Lahore.



Peshawar has also suffered greatly from terrorist attacks in the very recent past.


I have been told that once Karachi too was a happy hunting ground for these predators.
