Lahore Bombings: Indians Are Suspects, So Are Americans
"Suicide attacks kill at least 43 in Pakistan city; Lahore strikes are second in only a week" by Waqar Gillani, New York Times | March 13, 2010
LAHORE, Pakistan — Two suicide bomb attacks aimed at an army convoy patrolling a busy market ripped through this city in quick succession yesterday, killing at least 43 people in the second assault on Lahore in less than a week, officials said.

Officials said that 10 to 12 of the dead were Pakistani soldiers, and that more than 100 people had been wounded in the two blasts. A Lahore police officer, Sohail Sukhera, said this city in the Pakistani heartland was “in a state of war’’ after the explosions, which came despite what he called tight security in the army-controlled cantonment area of the city.
Yup, that SAME FAMILIAR STENCH once again.
The attacks came only days after a suicide bomber rammed an explosives-laden truck into the main gate of a safe house in Lahore used for interrogation by the Pakistani military. The explosion killed at least 15 people, including guards, and flattened the building.
In addition, militants have struck several times in other parts of Pakistan this week, including a suicide car bombing today in northwest Pakistan that killed at least five people near a security checkpoint in the Swat district. An attack Wednesday on the offices of World Vision, an American-based Christian aid group, in the northwest district of Mansehra, killed six Pakistani employees. A bombing at a small, makeshift movie theater in the main northwest city of Peshawar killed four people.
Yeah, I covered that on the ground earlier and I'm just so tired of the false flags.
The upsurge in violence follows a Pakistani crackdown on militants linked to the Taliban and Al Qaeda, including the arrest of the Taliban’s number two commander, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar. But no group immediately took responsibility for yesterday’s attack.
Lahore is the biggest city in Punjab, Pakistan’s most populous province. The attacks here this week seemed a direct challenge to the authority and effectiveness of the military, which recruits heavily in Punjab and has sought to move against militants in recent months in Pakistan’s mountainous and often lawless areas near the border with Afghanistan.
Gee, and WHO BENEFITS when the Pakistani military goes on a slaughter spree?
Pakistan is a crucial ally of the United States in Washington’s efforts to challenge the Taliban in both Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Huh.
A senior police officer, Superintendent Muhammad Shafiq, said of yesterday’s attack: “Both are suicide blasts and the target was Garrison Security Force mobile vehicles,’’ which were “patrolling in the market at that time.’’
The explosion decapitated two bombers whose heads had been recovered, he said.
A witness, Nadeem Attari, whose clothes were drenched with blood, said he was attending Friday prayers in a mosque when he heard the blast. “I left the prayers and rushed outside,’’ he said. “Suddenly, there was another blast near an army vehicle.’’
I'm sorry, readers; I don't like the stench, and I have long ago given up believing in government authorities and their mouthpiece medias.
Who reported this, the New York Times?
********************
The bombs went off in a market called R.A. Bazaar, a busy public area under army jurisdiction connecting the city with the airport and a military residential area. The Pakistan Army sent reinforcements to the area and cordoned it off, barring reporters from entering. Army helicopters hovered overhead and the injured were transported to an army hospital.
Said Ashraf Chaudhry, 25, who lives a few hundred yards from the blast site, said....
Cut, BG?
Why?
the R.A. Bazaar neighborhood includes several madrasas, or religious schools, which have been under pressure by the military.
All the MORE reason to believe this was a false flag!
Cui bono, and why the censorship cut?

Well, yeah, they rise before dawn for prayers.
That must be why the U.S. missiles fly just before then.
But hey, the cops found bomb stuff so it is not like they planted "evidence" or anything.
"Bomb materials seized in Pakistan" by Associated Press | March 16, 2010
LAHORE, Pakistan — A cache of bomb-making equipment and more than 3,300 pounds of explosives were discovered in an empty shop in the blast-battered city of Lahore, police said yesterday.
Police Superintendent Ali Nasir said two suicide jackets, hand grenades, and hundreds of bullets were also found.
Police raided the shop yesterday after a tip from the owner, who told authorities he had become suspicious because his new tenants had never opened for business.
The discovery was made near where five small bombs exploded Friday evening — hours after two suicide bombers killed 55 people in Lahore in coordinated explosions that also wounded about 100 people.
Less than 24 hours later, a suicide bomber on a motorized rickshaw killed 13 people at a security checkpoint on Saturday, extending the wave of violence in the country and raising fears that the nation is sliding back into a period of fierce bloodletting.

But they mentioned the rickshaw this time?
Saturday’s blast occurred in Saidu Sharif in the Swat Valley, where Taliban fighters battled government soldiers for months last year.
Also over the weekend, Pakistani fighter jets bombed a series of Taliban hide-outs near the Afghan border, killing nine insurgents.
Any evidence, or.... ?
Now who is he working for? ISI? RAW? CIA? Who?

Can you tell I have had it with whatever MSM bullshit is being shoveled these days, readers?
I simply no longer believe their cover-story, agenda-pushing propaganda, period.
