Update 03/March/09: Repercussions of Mumbai Drama- Attack on Sri Lanka’s Team

By Zaheerul Hassan

The Indian government through its intelligences agencies is madly busy in obliterating the regional peace by carrying out terrorist activities in the neighbouring countries, On March 3, 2009 a group of 12 individuals trained by the RAW carried out terrorist attacks on cricket team of Sri Lanka near Gaddafi Stadium Lahore. According to the government officials the masked gunmen armed with rifles and rocket launchers started an organized and ruthless firing on the team. As result several players wounded and six individuals of police have been killed. The reasons of carrying out assault against Lankan’s are quite obvious because she rejected Indian demand of not despatching her cricket team to Pakistan. Other reason is that New Delhi faced horrible defeat on diplomatic front in the case of Mumbai Drama. Her intelligence agencies and government is being criticized inside the country as well as at international level. She also failed to provide the solid evidence to FBI and Interpol in the past. At many occasions Indian Foreign minister and army Chief threaten that they have various open options to attack Pakistan. There are reports that these terrorists have entered into Pakistan from the river side and stayed in various areas of Lahore few days earlier of launching this attack. They have carried out the rehearsals and observed the movement of the team a day prior to assault. Pakistan Rangers and troops deployed on border should keep themselves alive and alert because the terrorists might use the border while falling back to India. In short Lahore attack will be taken as repercussions of Mumbai Drama. World community should enforce their pressure on India to stop storming state terrorism in the region.
