This happens only in Pakistan where despite of the fact that security is hightened due to previous attacks, yeh more are happening with each passing day and rather in an open dare to our security apparatus. Stop us if you can!

It’s not just MI and ISI responsibility. FIA and police is pathetic. Their investing methodology is 50 years old. They need to use latest technology to catch criminals. They have no experience in undercover work. They should have undercover in Universities and colleges. All data, voice and text should be monitored including social media. We need to have an agency setup just for that.

Agencies should offer FREE public WiFi with security camera (without any blind spots) and WiFi monitoring setup. This is an easy way to catch criminals.

They have no experience in undercover work.

I can't say for other provinces But in Sindh and Karachi they had this capability.

How is this relevant ? What drones are supposed to do ?

BTW! Pakistan has drones and is already using them. But drones has never stopped such attacks anywhere in the world. If you know a suspicious car and exact coordinates then a drone can monitor it closely. Otherwise if you want to keep eye on every vehicle, every person in the streets, roads then you will never find the bad guy through aerial view.
