Why were these guys who planned this never thought about a car bomb which was less riskier ? They send in foot soldiers as they knew they had to be in control of things and didnt want to get the players killed. A car bomb wouldnt have gave them this control. And moreover dressing them like...

I never said they didnt fire, if they hadnt how did they get injured. I said the aim was not to kill the SriLankan players.

Are you talking about this. I havnt edited the pcitures, but have saved it as it is on my computer and uploaded it over here. BBC NEWS | South Asia | Lahore bus driver's dramatic escape

I read the driver saying he saw a rocket that probably flew over the bus and a attacker who came in front and lobbed a grenade. Another wonderfull CCTV clipping of the attackers going home after the ambush. Well i wont be walking so calmly in my home.

The driver who sped away himself has said the guys were firing at the bus directly from the front. So let me ask , whom were they firing at. And what happened to the Pakistani team bus? Which bus is this? This looks clean, no bullet marks at all.

The match officials were in the van, which was there. Read Broad's and Toufel's comment. And there were two buses, not one. Only one drove away, the other's driver was killed.

Well read the news, where they have clearly mentioned, it was 20 minutes if not 25. They left under no pressure, and was seen walking off and two going off in a motor bike. That in an area that was sanitised before the convoy arrived.

Whatever it is, its just useless piece of weaponary. Cant even hit a bus from 100 meters.

So? Did i say the police wasnt killed. Police were killed but not the obvious targets the players, this even after they had a field run for about 20 minutes with AK47, Grenades and Rocket launchers.

Whom are B'deshi members grieving against. They cried out loud it was India, when absolutly no evidence was there. Now when they know its not going to be India, they are finding fault with the system, the guy who is investigating, the govt and all.

Quick exit? They were there firing for 20 odd minutes and i dont think they were spraying bullets. Atleast not in the video. There were several gaps between shots as of they were aiming and still they missed.

Why was the Pakistani team delayed? The question was raised by Chris Broad, match referee: “On the first two days [of the Test] both buses left at the same time with escorts. On this particular day the Pakistan bus left five minutes after the Sri Lankan bus. Why?” Simon...

I was not there to see it and so have to rely on eye witness accounts on the web. And then what i saw on TV. There was definitly no counter firing. Or else how can you expect them to roam around so free. And what were the police guys shooting at, they all got away scott free.

What about the other bus. Only one bus drew away.

Look at the bullet ridden police van and bus. Compare the bullet marks. Whom were they targeting the police or the cricketers. How many where then? Those eye witness accounts are out now. No counter firing, police jumping on the bus to escape from bullets. If there was...

Littered with bullets? Doesnt even remotedly look close to what resembles 20 minutes AK 47 assualt.

Players were in the bigger bus, the match officials were in the mini bus. But not sure who was in that mini van.
