  1. Unless you start naming the real perpetrators message will not go home. This has to be the work of those who wish to damage the proposed talks with TT and they are US,Britain Israel and India. Sadly but truly KSA is a party too.

    • But the group carrying out the atrocities are taking money from who you mention above. The agencies know who they are but won't take action as their funding will stop from the above-mentioned loby. Time is here for people to take arms & destroy these animals.

  2. Seems like state have lost control over country.Even new government taken charge and same situation as before.Most worst thing is enemies funded terrorists can freely target any individuals as well as any places but even after decade no finding of enemies networks or any serious steps have taken to eliminate foreign funded terrorists in Pakistan.The so called war on terror have imposed and transferred to Pakistan damaging country badly.There might be no such situation worst as Pakistan facing today been a nuclear state.Hard decisions needed to curb terrorism and maintain peace in country.

  3. These attacks on mosques and churches clearly tell us that the attackers want us to fight among ourselves. It is one of their old strategies; killing at one side and charging the other one.
