Today again?????

Does anyone even get caught for these attacks? I think this HARD question Pakistanis need to ask their state. In India we are able to crack most (not all) of the terrorist attacks and we even get convictions. We have made lot of progress in this respect in the last 10-15 years. Cracking a case and getting court convictions gives a sense of closure and confort to masses and defeats the purpose of terrorists.

These are terrorists..suicide bombers, not just some nuisance makers.
If police tries, the next thing you will hear is that the police station blown up..
For this an all out army operation is required, clamp state of Emergency, ban all news and TV channels, cut all forms of communication, ban all weapons, ban all kinds of meetings. Issue national I cards. Attendance in schools/colleges/work to be reported.
Any one deviating, caught with out trial...How about this as a solution.

See already Pakistan army has deployed a entire division in Quetta to deal with it I think XII corps is wholly dedicated to Baluchistan province of Pakistan. Pakistan army XI, XII corps are already conducting operations in these areas. The problem is due to nature of terrain, Both Pakistan army/ US army could not hold any territory which they have cleared ( Although Pakistan retains bajjur, Swat effectively without any Taliban Infiltration again).

Pakistan has been under attack by these terrorists and we see this on a daily basis when they target innocent people to create mayhem and destruction. Our condolences are with the families of the dead and injured, and the people of Pakistan. Conspiracy theorists never miss the slightest chance to spread disinformation and blame others for these attacks. On the contrary, we see the terrorists claiming responsibility for their heinous crimes through their spokesperson or through videos released to the press and the public. How long will we act like ostriches? It is time to take our heads out of the sand and look around. We will see that these terrorists are hurting Pakistan and its people with their daily attacks. Unless we honestly identify our enemies and get together with our friends, we will not be able to stop these lawless people who are all bent on destroying Pakistan. It is time to take stock of the situation and get together with friends to fight back against these terrorists so peace returns to the region, and people can again look forward to prosperity.
