My heartfelt condolences.

R.I.P. to the martyred.

Speedy recovery for the injured.

Serious security lapses though, hope the internal security of these institutions is beefed up after this..

The anti terrorism effort will go on whether Gen Raheel is around or not. We should also remember that this is essentially a sub-conventional war of attrition and there will be attacks on soft targets like this on all sides.

Leadership, command and control.

Sir, the Country is at war...than WHY such relaxed attitude...I do understand that the resources are stretched and one argument would be that it is IMPOSSIBLE to counter suicide attacks etc BUT still someone from the provincial security machinery have to answer WHY this happened....

Just watched few news clips...same old bayans, such as:

1. Dehshat-gardi ke khilaf aisey he lartey rahengey...
2. Dehshat-gard "raat ka" faida uthaatey huway aqbi raastey say ander dakhil howay...
3. Police key "taaza-dam" dastey foren jaye-waqowa per pohach gaye...

Sir we lost 50 + cadets....

How many "alamnaak" waqiyaat STILL needed to wake us up .... ? I just cannot comprehend what is the "thinking process" after all such incidents, is it something like:

1. OK from now on we should put more security at all such places (I don't think so)
2. From now on we should improve the local community based intelligence network and make sure we will not repeat the past mistakes (really!!!)
3. We know that terrorist are constantly planning to hit us...ARE WE READY...WHAT ARE OUR WEAKNESSES....?
the list goes on....

Or may be I am "over-reacting" as things are absolutely under control and somehow this incident is merely an "exception".....

Quite a shameless things to say given the bhangees from bharat start accusing Pakistan within minutes without any evidence.

There is no need to get edgy, as with everything when you demand and inquiry see it through to its logical conclusion, prior to assumptions!

RIP ... didn't see anything about this in mainstream media, i found out by surfing Israeli news sites .... horrible crime, and something becoming more common in Muslim world. No more respect for life, or fear of taking away peoples lives... speedy recovery to the injured though.

It appears to be a desperate move by a multi-national force in dispersion. However, they're gonna fail and they know it for the momentum is too great to be hindered by these cowardly acts. Pak is enduring these losses to buy time for payback. I am pretty sure targets are being enlisted and tactics are being devised to hit at the first available opportunity. Having said that all possible measures need to be taken at the critical installations. Like Turkey, Police commando forces may be raised at a much higher number and deployed extensively at sensitive locations with orders to eliminate at the slightest possible suspicion..

Areesh,

none of the under-training or graduated staff staying on premises would be armed.

Why not ? If school teachers are allowed to carry weapons, then every Soldier, police and guard must be armed when he is in a base or on duty ! Are we not in a war ? We are not living in peace time, RED ALERT must be the permanent status of all Forces and Bases ! And last but not least, every policemen and Soldier should get the training and must be involved in an exercise how to defend his own HOME-Base ! We have to think out of the BOX.

@Areesh is totally right in every point !

very well said.

Why get so worked up? next week it'll be business as usual. week after next this same building will again a single watchman posted at its entrance while a thousand cadets sleep inside.

somebody up there was crediting India for their superior strategy, I wouldn't go as far as that though. because it's not the Indian superior skill but our inferior preparation and lack of character that they're able to hit us like that.

that's why I believe that we should drop kashmir and make peace with India. save them and us and everyone all this human life toll.

pointed out very well.

And these incompetent disgraceful fools completed their training and were also passed out. Despite they were living in training school like it was khala ka ghar.

At least know what you are talking about. Recruits are not armed any where. There should have been 20 newly raised Anti Terrorist Force Guys deployed at this centre all the time to protect. One Guard is a bloody joke. Also along with 20 ATF Guys trainers at this centre should have been Armed. The question is why on earth this centre was not being protected by at least 15 to 20 Police Commandos. This is high incompetence of Police. @Sarge. Yes recruits can't be armed but your Elite Commandos should be deployed there all the time I mean from 15 to 20 Commandos. Pece with India good joke @iPhone soon you would drop Punjab than Sindh and than Gilgil Baltistan and than other Pakistan.

@Areesh is tottaly right in every point !

Because that is not how military and police facilities work. We may be at war in a general sense, but there are rules and regulations in place for the security of the staff and students, to avoid pilfer and countless other reasons. I understand the emotional urge to want to have every one armed to the teeth but a better line of questioning would be, why was the security not more hardened and why police specialists were not employed to guard the premise which is a soft target for the police force.

That is what I am saying. There should have been 20 Police Commandos deployed all the time. Why were they not deployed to protect the building. If there would have been there these idiots would have failed to enter the building and countless lives could have been saved.
