Lahore, 3 March (AKI) – By Syed Saleem Shahzad: Indian intelligence services are behind Tuesday’s attack against the Sri Lankan cricket team in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore, according to Pakistani analysts. At least five policemen died in the ambush by 12 masked gunmen, and six cricketers and their assistant coach were injured.
Some analysts said India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) was behind the attack against the team bus outside Lahore’s Ghaddafi Stadium, in which a Pakistani test umpire was critically injured.
“The event was crafted on the pattern of Mumbai attacks of November, 2008 and its aims and objectives are apparently to damage Pakistan’s interests,” a defence expert retired major general Jamshed Ayaz told Adnkronos International (AKI).
He was referring to the deadly assault against tourist targets in the Indian financial capital of Mumbai, which killed at least 170 people. India blamed outlawed militant Kashmiri separaratist group Laskar-e-Toiba for the Mumbai attacks.
“This job could only have been done by forces allied with Pakistan’s enemy country,” Ayaz claimed.
The test match has been called off and the Sri Lankan cricket team has flown home, reportedly badly shaken by the attack.
“It is not my place to comment on who was behind the incident but obviously Pakistanis are cricket lovers and they would never do that,” former Pakistan Test Cricketer Zaheer Abbas told AKI.
“There is a possibility of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam being behind the event,” said Abbas.Read Full Story >>

“The Pakistan Cricket team could also have fallen prey to the Terror attacks carried out on the Sri Lankan players, but captain Younis Khan’s decision to change the team’s travel schedule came as saviour, coach Intikhab Alam said. ”
Now, comment about this line my dear conspiracy writer.
“It is not my place to comment on who was behind the incident but obviously Pakistanis are cricket lovers and they would never do that,” former Pakistan Test Cricketer Zaheer Abbas told AKI.
What about this line, there is no doubt that the terrorists did this dastardly attack, but the above quoted person says that these terrorists are not pakistanis because they are cricket lovers – lol . Does any one believes Pakistan? Because their army has lost control over SWAT now Talibans are ruling. And that place is just about 300 Kms from Islamabad. Why can’t terrorists reach the city in the same country if they already officially established their base in the country.
My dear Sri Lankans, don’t befooled in the hands of PAKI’S writers, because by suspecting India in these things you are diverting away from the real culprits. Pakistan is a failed state. You always have a choice to choose between good and bad. You future lies in the path you choose. Best of Luck
Remeber India helped Sri Lanka in arming Sri Lanka against LTTE. We stand by your side in the war against Terrorists. But never accept your treatment of tamils as second citizens which you did in the past.
Anyway there is a good possiblility that LTTE behind this attack. Pakistan is one of the best places to plan this kind of attacks. Easier to purchase weapons and no shortage of terrorists that who support LTTE. This attack against Pakistanis to punish them for their involvement in Sri Lanka to difeat LTTE in Sri Lanka.
Buddha… please save this foolish Lankans. They might have a common enemy in India but they are far more intelligent than foolish islamists. The way Srilanka is bonding with Pakistan will create another Afghanistan in South Asia. Soon we will have Mendis Khan, Ruwan Ali, Jayawardana Raza in Ceylon
