Blast in Peshawar Qissa Khani Bazar

Why do terrorist attacks occur when dialogue is on the table, Imran asks – The Express Tribune

Pointing towards a possible conspiracy, he questioned why attacks like the one on the church occur whenever talk of dialogue progresses. He also pointed out that a US drone attack was carried out today, yet did not highlight how this was connected to the Peshawar attack.


He seems to be sticking to his drone theory. Good for him. Bad for KPK people.

May be you are responsible, but No need to drag everyone here...

as jaibi clarified I meant we as a nation..
Denial won't do any good my friend!

The attack on sukkar was claimed by both TTP with ehsanullah ehsan as their spokesman and also by jundullah with ahmed marwat as its spokesman. At that time ehsanullah ehsan clarified that no faction of TTP exists with name of jundullah.
The attack on gilgat-baltistan was claimed by both TTP's jund-e-hafsa and this jundullah. Who exactly is this jundullah?

I dont know where you are going with this, Jundullah has close ties with AQ and has a history of attacking military and civil leos.the core group fought along HM in soviet war and had links with afghan Taliban, but later the group was split into two factions, the one we see today.

Bali I think the problem is that most of us see it as a military affair. We should see it more as a national issue where every part of the society needs to do its part and that includes developing FATA politically and in terms of civics so we can do without armed groups at all. Only the State has the legitimate use of violence, no group, no faction, no matter how pro-Pakistani they are.

I dont know if you read the comment i made last night on your write up, but i sure did say that it is not military affair, its more of national and idelogical crisis, its about our identity.

But the problem is Civil leadership is failing badly at taking hard decisions.

This is a massive tragedy. This is most likely a revenge attack on communities terrorists see as supporting the Army and Government of Pakistan. It was an attack on women and children.

A large part of Christians in Peshawar are government and army employees. A twelver shia mosque was also targeted in the city a while ago, as they are also considered helping the government of Pakistan, and the recent grenade attack on a pro-government mosque.

The Christian community in Peshawar is very small, and this must have been devastation on them. The whole of Pakistan must organize immediately to help. They need our support right now the most.

Recently there were reports of militants roaming freely in Peshawar. We need rule of law in that city and protection of human life. These militants cannot be let free roaming taking revenge on anyone they deem a target with no regard for innocent lives. This is not what our faith teaches. This is criminal behaviour.

Expecting anything from civilian leadership is likepipe dreaming. They are not here to solve public problems and society nuisence they are here to safe guard their interest and protocols. The more we will talk about negotiaitions the more we will be considered weak. This menace has to be dealt with iron hand which political govt hasnt got acumen

i agree, also generally, if there is no rule of law, criminals and gangsters will rule. This can be applied to any city in the world, be it delhi, Beijing, Tokyo etc

[Marwat Khan Lodhi]

YOU mean Army & ISI ??? It looks far fetched. Miltary elite would not let anyone of their high rank officer get killed due to any motives. They have many other means to tarpedo peace process. Instead of selling a general, they can sold out any elite politician to TTP.

I would be stupid to assume that army and ISI as a whole are sympathetic to taliban and other banned religous groups. I believe some elements within ISI/army, legacy of zia ul haq, are leaking info to taliban. Attacks on musharaf and GHQ were from within army. One of the important taliban commander adnan rasheed was in air force. Attack on sukkar's ISI headquarter, mehran and kamra airbase would puzzle you how "cave fighters" like taliban can carry out such spectacular attacks? A common man thinks of foriegn hand while the ones with deeper insights do not rule out the possibility of moles of taliban within army (taliban have made such claim in their videos)....these are "naraz faujis", not happy with secular and pro-american policies.
Liberal elements within army/isi are also no angel, they can also sacrifice their own on necessary evil principle for "greater good".

Is this guy do anything else other than confusing Pakistanis?? When Wali Ur Reman was killed, he was sniffing American conspiracy and terrorist attack on church, he is sniffing PA & ISI consipiracy. I think its better for Pakistan that he did not came to power. In one public meeting, he was doing his own chest thumping for converting 3 non-muslims to muslim religion. How did he better than other religious extrmists?? He is in reallity Taliban Khan. But, what else you Pakistanis can expect from a TTP apologist, who did not attend Janajas of his own MPA & MNA killed by his peaceful TTP brothers.

 

[American Pakistani]

So what excuse do these PML-N & PTI'ans have now to support their "piece?peace" talks with TTP/LeJ terrorist groups? Should Pak Army launch massive operation against PML-N & PTI for making the nation fool & supporting these terrorist groups?

This attack is due to failure of both PML-N & PTI govts so they should resign & hand over the power to Army.
