That's good news.I think FIA should be strong like ISI then Pakistan will be pretty safe.ISI is very good but FIA is not that good!

FIA has really stepped up recently. espacially in big cities. they have busted many would be attacks in lahore as well

 

[Awesome]

MCB is one of the last few banks left standing and still expanding its business in the current financial crisis within Pakistan.

It goes to show who are the driving forces behind these attacks. People that really would stop at nothing to damage Pakistan's economy.

ISI is good because it has to plan attacks and be on offensive.Being on offensive is much more easy than being on defensive because even if you miss a single conversation ,you will not be able to prevent the attack.FIA has done commendable job but attacking is pretty much easier then defending.

Good job Pakistani security guards

The security guards helped protect millions by saving the bank that's trying to improve Pakistan's economy.
