Lahore attack

Islamabad A Pakistani minister accused India of being behind the attack on Sri Lanka's cricket team in the city of Lahore on Tuesday, saying the attackers had crossed into Pakistan from India.

"The evidence which we have got shows that these terrorists entered from across the border from India," Sardar Nabil Ahmed Gabol, Minister of State for Shipping, told private Geo television. "This was a conspiracy to defame Pakistan internationally."

"This incident took place in reaction to 26/11," he said referring to the Mumbai attacks in November in which at least 170 people were killed. "It is a declaration of open war on Pakistan by India," said the minister, who is not one of the government's official spokesmen, but belongs to President Asif Ali Zardari's party.

I agree with Pakistan's claim by Shawn on 04 Mar 2009

I totaly agree with Sardar Nabil Ahmed Gabol, Minister of State for Shipping that these terrorist entered Pakistan via Indis. The reason he knows is that he called them back to attach SL team. How stupid is he, now he has implicated himself as well as Pakistan in terror plots. KEEP UP THE GOOD JOB, MINISTER!!!!

Superman minister by Hero Vaz on 04 Mar 2009

It is good to know that India has the capability to counter terrorism. The Paki minister must be a superman to know so quickly that the attackers came from India. Or is it that he was personally present when the attackers crossed over?

Terrorist attack in Lahore by Shoaib on 04 Mar 2009

When President Asif Zardari has confined himself to the Presidential enclave how can any body feel safe in that beleagured country.? It is a fashion to blame India for their own misfortune.

Paks blame India by Dr. paras Deo on 03 Mar 2009

On the contrary, I am convinced; Pakistanis instigated and carried out this act of violence because they are hoping to gain some of misunderstood sympathy by blaming India. And I must confess I don’t feel sorry for the Paks. They are getting the results of their own devilish deeds.

LAHORE BLAMES INDIA by SWARN K KHOSLA on 03 Mar 2009

It is sheer idiotic and non-sense to blame India. Pakistan Players Knew of the coming danger, hence traveled by seperate bus. What more proof is necessary that some one who planned this cowardly attack on sportspersons from lanka ensured that the players of his own country do not travel with them. Stop living in self generated "HATRED", it is bound to harm you more. The old saying is 'AS YOU SOW ,SO SHALL YOU REAP". tHE EARLIER YOU ACCEPT THAT YOU CREATED OUTFITS LIKE 'LAKSHERE TOUIBA' ETC. THE BETTER FOR YOU. AS A NATION YOU WOULD THEN CONCENTRATE ON DEVELOPMENT, GROWTH, BETTER EDUCATION, BETTER LIVING FOR YOUR PEOPLE.. DON'T INVITE OUTSIDERS TO CLEAN YOUR HOUSE. IT IS MOST LIKELY THAT THEY WOULD MESS UP EVERYTHING YOU HAVE, INCLUDING YOUR INDO-ASIAN CULTURE AND LEAVE. ACCEPT TRUTH, AND FROM THAT DAY YOUR SALVATION IS ENSURED BY THE ALMIGHTY. MAY THE ALMIGHTY BLESS THIS SMALL WISDOM TO ALL.

Terror attack Cricket bcause of Drone by Jaswinder Singh Gill on 03 Mar 2009

This attack is outcome of DRONE and Pakistan Army attack in SWAT valley and other parts of Pakistan and not L.T.T.E or Indian angle. Terrorist has pressurized Pakistan Government by attacking.

Might be true by Mohammed on 03 Mar 2009

PAK minister may be right. There are more Taliban sympethisers in India than Pakistan(in numbers).

Great Find by Abhinav on 03 Mar 2009

Is it audacity or buffoonery? They have not been able to catch a single terrorist, their best possible security was not able to prevent the most obvious of incident but they have the insensitivity and alacrity to use this incident to settle the scores with India. Did the terrorist themselves ask the permission of the minister before "crossing" from India, or did the minister himself see them "crossing". Is the intelligence also working with India that they had no clue about this incident? And I think the security personnel were also Indians that they could not catch even a single terrorist dead or alive.

GABOL acusses India by Dr. paras Deo on 03 Mar 2009

Sardar Nabil Ahmed Gabol is talking thru his hat. And his hat is full of holes. The blame game has started and cricket is forgotten. You reap what you sow,Gabol. They are the satans of your own devil's work !!!!

Irresponsible Journalism by Sahil Suri on 03 Mar 2009

Irresponsible journalism from the Indian Express, the article itself reports that minister is not the official spokesperson so why does the headline quotes Pakistan making such a statement
