And would that brain which could fathom a vacuum in security arrangements, not be able to appreciate the fact that no one would be around on that day in the place they were attacking? Be it an Intelligence site itself?
Strange, isn't it?
Kindly do explain this bit. I am not sure I get the correct meaning here ...
And what makes you think that the TTP cadre is very selective in only attacking the police and law enforcement agencies?

Here is an example to debunk that premise.
This point I agree with..
Thanks
Your perception here? Or did you fail to correlate my criticism of the Army not backing the GoP against the radical group at the Faislabad Interchange?
Very astute observation on your country's view point oft narrated here over Mumbai attacks. It remains a different perspective that the view is not shared by any nation in the world.
Reverting back to the topic at hand. Let us assume a correlation in 'peaceful' capitulation of GoP at interchange thanks to Army and ISI being paid back with gratitude to deflect the criticism coming their way from both domestic and international observers.
Possibility of a grateful radical group, acting not necessarily in consonance with the organisations, but under assumption of 'helping' them in quid pro quo?
Again my dear member, since when has TTP made that fine a distinction? And since when has the common uneducated Pakistani been so aloof as to the attacks carried out by TTP that this line can hold? Even the most gullible will be hard pressed to digest that line.
What ever suits you. I think I am quite clear to those who can correlate the incidents as occurred at Faislabad Interchange the other day and the dastardly attack at Peshawar. What missed you? Limitations of the intellect to correlate and analyse?
It is indeed a narrative being pushed and that is what has raised my 'antennae' if you will, over the whole thing stinking and some zealot sitting in backdrop playing a longer game ....
I agree. Crosses all in this incident.
You think they were
misled? How did you reach that conclusion?
Isn't that blasphemy my dear?
That is PDF logic nowadays, apparently. You become an apologist for a militant just because an Indian member has raised flags, all seemingly unrelated yet significant act of terror in immediate aftermath of a public capitulation of the State to radicals ..... amazing thought process in play, never have I seen this.
@Oscar Now I recall what you meant long back
So, you mean to imply the possibility of the same being projected as a 'safe house' or 'harbour' for Intel operatives? Fair enough. Then kindly explain which embedded agent will agree to being an agent when the terrorist purportedly asked a question as to veracity of the place being a safe house?
Have you met any terrorist who is happy to die when the time to pass has come? I have certainly not met any. Suicide vests are meant as weapons of last resort in case surrounded .... or until and unless there is a specific plan calling for a suicide attack. In the latter case, the individual will be quietly inserted into the target area with a team 'fronting' for him/her and creating a distraction.
Seriously!
How much time elapsed since advent of SFs and neutralisation of 'suicide vest borne' terrorists?
It was Eid Maldun Nabi ...a publoc holiday.
Agreed. So you mean to say they woke up in Afghanistan and attacked and did not undertake a recon mission to ascertain their target? What kind of antithetical logic are you presenting?
More like can't do. Ceding space to the radicals at Interchange is exactly the part that moves in this direction ....
I doubt they have the will or the capability to undertake that without undermining their own security exponentially.
I on the other hand, am all for undertaking a deliberate offensive to re-establish the authority of the Pakistani State on all it's territories and across all institutions without exceptions.
A great write up :

Point is, the affair stinks. Especially in light of the 'surrender' of Pakistani State in front of the radicals at the interchange and a disunited house presented by the State.
It creates an impression of some radical sitting and managing the national discourse by acts of terror.
Joke is on you sweetie. For the first time I said it in 2008 in my previous avtaar. Then in present avtaar repeated it a few times earlier too.
Go sift through the data bank .. it will be found somewhere in 2009-12 period too
