Police Training Centre Attacked in Quetta - Operated from Afghanistan - 51 cadets dead, 97 injured

[Emmie]

If am not wrong it is the second attack at the same center ?

Not too sure but they had a prior intelligence report still police couldn't make center impregnable.

4 injured are no longer in danger of their lives.

Don't know about the rest.

According to dunya.

 

[Emmie]

The hostage situation indicates as well.

I am afraid we have a hostage situation to tackle.

 

[Spring Onion]

How difficult it is to defend a police training center which is also an obvious target of terrorists??

When you are focused more on Islamabad dharna, LoC situation, Afghan border, indeed you are risking to ignore other areas. In my opinion this is the weak point which we still failed to overcome

no firing heard from inside the hostles for 15-20 minutes :Ary news.Allah Khair karey.Ameen.

 

[SHAH07]

ARY reporting terrorists were able to enter a hostel.

But the security forces are trying to confirm whether there are any hostages or not

 

[The Eagle]

no need to put a positive spin on this. This is a grave situation. And the fact that this is happening after so many attacks on the military and police bases tells you that those in charge of security have taken the same Pakistani relaxed attitude of "dekha jaye ga" "kal ker lein ge" "Koi Farq nehi parta".

We can only hope the terrorist don't slaughter the police and the cadets inside. After all, that's all Pakistanis CAN do. We have sworn to never be prepared. Even when a calamity is foretold. Just like this one was in "Intel reports".

Reports were of a possible attack but wasn't specific of such this or that target. However, attackers stormed into training center and almost breached from different points.

They entered into hostel which is filled with cadets/trainees. 14 injured moved till now and only hope is there that damage may be less. Firing stopped since 25 minutes and as per sources, forces have entered to clear the building/hostel one by one for any hidden attacker. News are only shared as told to outside reporters.

Emmie we are caught sleeping once again. NS govt is lame duck engaging and dragging Army in political mud for own benefits harming the national interests. They failed to assess the situation you cannot stretch army to war zones as well as political zone at the same time.

Allah Karam karay. Expect 70-80 Shaheed atleast. I pray I am wrong.

The administration of such institutes are very incompetent. I remember when there were numerous suicide attacks near Army Medical College rwp, parade lane, two RA bazar, 1 Qasim market, one on AMC bus and Surgeon General, the security of AM College hostel was still one/two Askari guards with shotguns! Even after a lot of hue and cry they equipped AMC jawans who had probably fired 12 bullets whole their life with MP5 and two mags with no body armour or even
helmets. That is the state of affairs.

2 Injured have serious injuries with bullets on stomachs and are undergoing operation.

Many are Injured in hands and legs.

Some injured due to jumping from height to escape.

You really think this dharna, LOC situation, Afghan border, global warming, Pak vs WI test series and anything else are some kind of excuses for our failure to defend such an obvious target??

 

[Kompromat]

Let's hope its a hostage situation not a massacre.
