[paritosh]

the day of judgment is not far...
man will fight and kill man in the name of his false gods and his religion...false material prosperity will lead brother to slaughter brother...
how else would you justify the invention of the nuclear bomb...it is the wrath of god stored at the bottom of the earth in man-made silos and metal cages...waiting to unleash god's wrath.....the instrument of god''s wrath is made by man....just like all the religions of the billions...

i plan to cut down on my future savings...and retirement plans...

A suicide bomber detonated his vehicle near a crowded market in Pakistan's northwest city of Peshawar on Friday, killing 41 people. The government responded by saying it had "no other option" but to launch an offensive in the militant stronghold of South Waziristan along the Afghan border.
The attack in the Khyber Bazaar area also wounded more than 100 people and demonstrated the ability of insurgents to strike in Pakistan's major cities despite ongoing operations pressuring their networks and the death of their leader in a U.S. missile strike.
The charred skeleton of a bus flipped on its side in the middle of the road, while the remains of a twisted motorbike lay nearby, TV footage showed. Passersby rushed to cover the bodies of victims whose clothes were burned off, while a man carried a woman apparently knocked out by the blast. One man staggered from the scene, his entire face covered with blood.
"I saw a blood soaked leg landing close to me," said Noor Alam, who suffered wounds on his legs and face and was at the overwhelmed Lady Reading hospital. "I understood for the first time in my life what a doomsday would look like."
Peshawar Police Chief Liaqat Ali Khan said the attacker was in a car packed with "a huge quantity of explosives and artillery rounds." A minibus apparently carrying passengers nearby was also leveled in the blast.
It came days after a suicide attack killed five at a U.N. office in the capital, Islamabad and two weeks after another explosion killed 11 in a Peshawar commercial area.
Provincial Health Minister Syed Zahir Ali Shah said 41 people were killed and more than 100 wounded Friday. It was the deadliest attack in Pakistan since a suicide bomber demolished a packed mosque near the northwestern town of Jamrud in March, killing about 50.
"Death has to come one day, but we will keep chasing these terrorists, and this attack cannot deter our resolve," Provincial Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain said as he visited the bloody scene.
The militants have threatened bombings if the army doesn't back off, but the U.S. has continued to prod Pakistan to take action against insurgents using its soil to fuel the insurgency in neighboring Afghanistan.
The army has confirmed it is prepared to launch a major offensive in South Waziristan, a region along the Afghan border that many consider the fountainhead of suicide attacks and other militant activity in Pakistan. It has not given a date for the launch.
"We have no other option but to carry out an operation in South Waziristan," Interior Minister Rehman Malik told a local television station after the attack Friday. "All roads are leading to South Waziristan. We will have to proceed."
The U.S. has pushed Pakistan to clear militant strongholds, saying many of those insurgents are involved in attacks on American and NATO troops across the border in Afghanistan.
U.S. missile strikes have frequently targeted hideouts in Pakistan. One in August killed Pakistani Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud. The group has since named a new leader, Hakimullah Mehsud, and threatened suicide attacks if the army doesn't back off.
Malik also said that a suspect had been arrested in Monday's suicide attack at the office of the U.N.'s World Food Program in Islamabad. He said the man was alleged to have given the attacker shelter, but gave few details.
Meanwhile, militants in Pakistan ambushed a tanker carrying fuel for U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan at a gas station near Peshawar, torching it, said Fazal Rabi, a police official. No deaths or injuries were reported.
The attacks come amid growing tensions between the U.S. and Pakistan over a multibillion-dollar U.S. aid package that is aimed at helping Pakistan's economy and other nonmilitary sectors.
Pakistan's army has raised concern over strings attached to the aid, bolstering critics who say it will invite U.S. interference. The debate over the proposal also has exposed rifts between Pakistan's military and its weak civilian government.
The government has hailed the package, which would provide $1.5 billion a year over the next five years. But the measure, which awaits President Barack Obama's signature, makes U.S. aid contingent on whether Pakistan's government maintains effective control over the military, among other conditions.
The army, which has ruled Pakistan for around half its 62-year existence, raised "serious concern" over the conditions, while the government said nothing in it was against Pakistan's interests.

the indian factor comes in the same way india brings in the Pakistani factor , a day after the recent indian embassy bombings india came out accusing Pakistan. If according to indians, attack on indian embassy is the handiwork of pakistan then this has to be the handiwork of india supposedly 'gettng back' at Pakistan.

In real life I have no interaction with indians but reading their comments on their forums leaves no doubt that a) they celebrate such attoricites in Pakistan b) they blame pakistan when such things are aimed at india c) they are always conspiring against Pakistan in one way or another.

no no no my friend indians do not celebrate or cherish the these terrorizing incidents as we are also suffering from these atrocities.
Indians are willing to john hands against terrorism with pakistan. But its pakistan which always says that it will continue to support terrorists in kashmir which it calls freedom fighters. My friend tell me does your freedom fighter does any other thing that the ttp is doing to you? He kills people and plays with innocent blood.
Pakistan must stop supporting terrorists and situation will improve and will improve soon surely.

I am glad the Interior Minster made the connection, and I hope Pakistanis listening to him make the connection, regardless of who they think is backing the TTP - we will need as much public support as possible in the SW operation - it will be protracted and expensive in lives and treasure.

May the innocents martyred in this attack RIP.

Qari Hussain, in an interview with AP:

"The militant commander, who appeared to be in his 40s and had a curly black beard and moustache, was surrounded by dozens of other militants and local residents. At one point, he assured those gathered that Islam allowed suicide bombings."

"He also acknowledged that he was leading a group of suicide bombers known as the "Fidayeen-e-Islam," and said the attackers were ready to give their lives if Pakistan proceeds with offensives in the tribal areas.

"We have enough suicide bombers, and they are asking me to let them sacrifice their lives in the name of Islam, but we will send suicide bombers only if the government acts against us," he said. "

So, do you want to accept Qari Hussain's demands and take his word that the suicide bombings will stop if the military does not act against them?

Do you want to accept the word of this man and his supporters that blow up innocents in marketplaces? Who seek to destroy organizations such as the World Food Program assisting millions of Pakistanis in need?

There may be a time for negotiations, but I say only after the power center of these people in SW has been reduced to rubble. Right now they are demanding from a position of Strength, secure and ensconced in their fortress of Waziristan - destroy their fortress and kill their leaders and lets see if they have more staying power than the TTP-Swat.

Ma'am, do you really think the TTP doing in Pakistan has anything to do with US being in Afghanistan ?? If they have so many bombers then why don't they send them to Afghanistan, if they are against US occupation. They have no issue with what US does in Afghanistan, that war is being supported by the Afghan Taliban & from the Pakistan side the wazir tribe is giving them maximum support. The wazir militants don't do any suicide inside Pakistan, nor they claim to destroy Pakistan. TTP has is own agenda, even if US leaves Afghanistan, they will still do such acts as their aim is not to fight occupational forces, rather destabilizing Pakistan is their aim & mission.
