Hearing news there was a blast in orangi town karachi on a shia procession as well ... extremists are busy doing what they do best ""slaughtering and killing unarmed civilians"" , whilst the nation has decided to stay shut confused

Intelligence guys are not gods, there reports are based on gathered intelligence, many times they will not be able to gather any intelligence at all specially in Muharram when there are somany large gatherings (potential targets for terrorists). May ALLAH bless the deceased and help Pakistan overcome this menace.

the intelligence report was for Karachi and for 17th november..
Looks like they changed venue and date...

Tau, kya ye Allah nay Karvaya tha?? Vo tau hai he Rahman aur Raheem, but the folks who pulled this off, know nothing of Allah or Rahman or Raheem - anyway, lets give Allah a break, and take some responsibility or at least give some to Shaitaan

May the departed souls rest in peace........ and I hope that GoP wont hesitate to name the perpetrators behind sectarian killings in Pakistan. We all know who they are, but why GoP never goes public with evidence is beyond my grasp.
