Google is for every one, so as for the Taxi Drivers. Even in a not so tech-savvy country, Pakistan where people advertise their business only with the local or national newspapers. This is the quite unique idea from the driver of taxi cab, Asif Hussain Shah. By doing so he has already gathered the attraction of many online blogs for his taxi business.

Following 2 photos are the scenes of 2 more cowardly attacks by the enemies of Pakistan in my Lahore and my Peshawar. Very sad and our prayers go to the innocents who got martyred. If anything, these cowardly acts are going to make our resolve stronger against the terrorists. Dawn coverage here and here.

December 04, 2009 – You ruthlessly attacked and killed over 40, almost half of whom were children. You attacked worshipers of the Almighty and I am sure, to absolutely the very core of my heart, HE will not spare you!

Shame on you too, Zardari, for sitting in your protected castle and doing everything in your capacity to encourage US-Indian-Israeli interests in Pakistan and letting their forces wreck havoc on our land! Shame on you for marching brutally over the very fundamental policies of your wife! You are a dictator and nothing more!

As those who were martyred have headed off to their eternal abode in religious zeal and full military honour, I see hope and light at the end of the tunnel. This is a desperate act showing how close to elimination the CIA is in its covert operations inside Pakistan. We know you are well prepared, but we are better! The land is ours and we have used this advantage brilliantly to strike you where it hurts!

What was the point targeting and deliberately killing children?

Besides 16 children, an army major general, a brigadier, two lieutenant colonels, a major and a number of soldiers were among those killed in a multi-pronged attack at the Parade Land Askari mosque that involved grenade throwing, firing from automatic guns and deadly explosions. The siege ended after two suicide bombers blew themselves up.

“Like every Friday my son had accompanied me to the mosque. Now he is dead and I am standing here in front of you,” said a highly disturbed elderly man, his clothes soaked in blood.
