Blast near Quetta polio centre kills 14; TTP claims responsibility

[Parul]

In past Muslim clerics + Taliban had said that Polio Vacations make people Impotent. Apparently, that can be another reason for this cowardly attack.

Reports of another blast in Quetta.Details needed.

The second blast was heard from Barori road.

 

[I.R.A]

RAW is not in habit of claiming, they just do it through proxies.

There is no use in blaming once the damage has been done, either you are strong enough to prevent it from happening and your reply makes the other sh*t in his pants while planning another such attack or giving lectures about how to terrorise Pakistan, but unfortunately this has not been happening.

Sad incident, again fasadi anti state anti Islam dogs aka Taliban and group or AQ wing might be behind this attack. It's seems security agencies tried to stop that hell dog enter in center and blow himself near security personals.

Now who would benefit if Pakistan remains a polio infected country? The answer should not come as a surprise to anyone.

Expansion of Zarb e Azb is needed in the province , I have this so many times before. To achieve complete peace in the province it is very important to eliminate those elements who are brainless & are not going to throw down their arms. BLA, BRA & etc. needs to be eliminated for good.

 

[Counterpunch]

Just wondering, is there a hidden group that is hell bent on bringing India and Pakistan to war?
To me the sudden rise in attacks in Pakistan after Pathankot is indicative of that

4th attack in as many days in baluchistan.....some one really trying to stir up baluchistan witb a renewed fervour

 

[saiyan0321]

Sad. Very sad.. These terrorists would see us all crippled and dead. They target weak undefended people without having the guts to come forward. These stone age morons were attacking polio drives as well before. Let's see who claims responsibility.

MAY ALLAH ALLOW THESE SOULS A PLACE A IN HEAVEN FOR THEIR BRAVERY TO CURE PEOPLE DESPITE THREATS FROM MONSTERS.
