The Pakis would have known this, so would have at least some in the Indian administration. Not to mention, the Americans and the Israelis would have known. Knowing all this, why did the Pakis go ahead with it?Gagan wrote:Mushy said so himself that their hydrogen sulfide bums were not ready then, the missiles were not fully functional ir something to the effect.
We know that the PAF was in dire straits, the behriya was busy passing water inside karachi harbour.
The bluff was called, but India should have driven the dagger home a little bit more.
Death toll is 50 as of now.deejay wrote:Its happy times in pakistan all over again. Karz -e - Zarb -e - Azb will be repaid in multiple installments over the period of this nations survival.

Attackers are believed to be on the second and third floors of the campus buildings.
This might stretch long...Emergency has been imposed at all district hospitals
So for their authorities/forces; it was a non-surprise, intel preceded attack like Pathankot??Rumors of possible terrorist attacks on schools had been circulating in Peshawar and surrounding rural areas over the last week, forcing some schools to close educational institutions early.
District administration had directed some schools to close their campuses for one day (last Saturday) insisting there were reports of possible terrorist attacks on them.
School was named after Pakhtun Gandhian. Anniv was being observed. I think he was opposed to partition so therefore may have been a PA backed Taliban attack rather than an IS one.Virendra wrote:So for their authorities/forces; it was a non-surprise, intel preceded attack like Pathankot??Rumors of possible terrorist attacks on schools had been circulating in Peshawar and surrounding rural areas over the last week, forcing some schools to close educational institutions early.

In that case, a University of 3000 students could have been guarded better.
The "operation" got over pretty fast. Probably will be used to trumpet the superiority of the terroristani fauj compared with the baniyas next door.Deans wrote:Small price for ISI to pay, to be able to claim that `we are also victims of terror'.
The attackers seem to be junior grade guys - going by the death toll.
its totally possible that a part of the death toll of the civilians would be caused by Pak phauj.Kashi wrote:The "operation" got over pretty fast.

.chemistry teacher who tried to protect his students by opening fire on Taliban militants during a deadly attack at a Pakistani university has been hailed as a "martyr" and a "gentleman"
What's next TFTA Rambo's coming to class teaching kids(budding Abdulssalams)Teachers in northwest Pakistan were given permission to carry firearms in the classroom after Taliban militants massacred more than 150 people, the majority of them children, at a school in the city of Peshawar in 2014.
I was also thinking on same lines. Reminds me of MP's multiple statements. I for one be happy if that's case, though will be happier, if the thappad was solidly given by Indian military to Porki Military to have a big loss of face.shiv wrote:Is it possible that the ghost of IK Gujral has been laid to rest?
Pakistan has removed a video game based on horrendous attack at an army-run school in Peshawar by heavily-armed Taliban militants, after criticism.At least 150 people, mostly children, were killed in the attack on the schoolon December 16, 2014.
I agree, I would NOT like this to be our Thappad, since this really does not hurt the RAPE or the Military. That's where the response needs to be.kapilrdave wrote:Any retribution by India will have to be in pakjab, nowhere else. Preferably at military facilities.
Yeah since terrorists and Pakifauj use the same ammo you will never know who caused more casualties, the attackers or the LOLdefenderjKashi wrote:The "operation" got over pretty fast.

IT took yet another militant attack across the border and increasing pressure from outside powers for us to finally act against Masood Azhar and his militant network — although one is not sure how serious we are in cleaning out the stables this time. Although proscribed some 14 years ago, his organisation continued to operate freely despite the evidence of its being involved in militant activities at home and outside.
Many believe that the Pathankot raid and the alleged involvement of JeM in the incident may constitute a tipping point in the battle against militancy in Punjab. But it remains to be seen whether the government sticks to its promise.[/b]

Ironically, all those who had figured in the incident returned to haunt Pakistan with the turn of events a few years later. Sheikh was sentenced to death by a Pakistani anti-terrorism court for his involvement in the kidnapping and killing of American journalist Daniel Pearl in 2002.
CheersMost of Pakistan’s terrorism problems have roots in our past policy of promoting militant groups like JeM to fight proxy wars. It is now time to undo that historical wrong. One hopes the tipping point has finally arrived.
Terrorism has no religion my left testimonial."Those who kill innocent students and civilians have no religion," said Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
"We saw three terrorists shouting, 'Allah is great!' and rushing towards the stairs of our department," said a male student to reporters. "One student jumped out of the classroom through the window. We never saw him get up."

ISLAMABAD - After Supreme Court maintained his death sentence, relatives of Mumtaz Qadri, the self-confessed murderer of former Punjab Governor Salman Taseer, have filed mercy petition before President Mamnoon Hussain.Official sources confirmed the mercy appeal has been filed in Interior Ministry’s petition cell. “I will file mercy plea before the President on behalf of Mumtaz Qadri’s father Malik Muhammad Bashir Awan”, Nazir Akhtar had said.He, however, said President under the Constitution had the authority to pardon a convict or minimise his/her sentence stating he will highlight specific legal points or some lacunae in the mercy petition for his client Mumtaz Qadri.While rejecting the review petition the apex court had also dismissed the convict’s request for a larger bench with an observation that Mumtaz Qadri had confessed to have carried out the assassination at all stages of the case and had been arrested from the crime scene.It is to be mentioned here that supporters of Mumtaz Qadri have rejected the judgment of Supreme Court that maintained the death penalty for the self-confessed murderer of former Governor Punjab.Pakistan Sunni Tehrik, the Barelvi political party has already taken to the streets in Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi-Islamabad denouncing the apex court judgment demanding that the trial should be carried out in Shariat Court.
