Figures can be easily manipulated and twisted. Let me ask you one question From where did u get the figure of 70% reduction in terrorist attacks. Every year the casulties are increasing,just in the last 2 days some 30 shias have been killed and scores wounded. In fact Every year there are suicide attacks on Shias during Moharram. U kill one terrorist and 10 will come out from no where. The militants know they cannot fight a conventional war where the opponent is heavily outnumbered with the latest tanks and fighter planes. Hence they will shift their operations or lie down low. Of recent there has been a increase in attacks on secular political parties by the militants. In karachi many shia professionals like docotors,lawyers,businessmen,professionals and community leaders have been shot dead
