    • Well said Shaikh! and may this Omar Khorasani rot in hell. These Zankha's are only capable of attacking and killing innocent people they cannot fight in a battle field for the fear of getting killed.

      • itna dam nai jo ASF walo ko hara sako.tm itna havy Alha lai kar gai magar 1 RPG b fire na kar sakai.ye hai ASF.

  1. Why our security agencies weren't did the search operation of the near by areas and localities after the first incident of last night ???

  2. Recently General Raheel Shareef had said that the whole nation has rejected the misplaced ideology of the terrorists. We all have seen in the last few days the mayhem created by the terrorists from the border town of Taftan near Iran to Karachi and the overwhelming response of the nation to fight back against these killers. The terrorists are determined to destabilize Pakistan but we should be glad that the security forces are even more determined to defeat the enemy. We are saddened by the loss of so many lives in these senseless attacks but at the same time we are happy to see the quick response of the security forces in neutralizing the terrorists. The ongoing security forces sweeps and actions in the northwestern terrorists’ strongholds and in and around Karachi will soon show positive results. We stand united with the people and the military of Pakistan in these testing times. Together our resolve is to bring about sustained peace in the region.
