getting shot is a bit of a risk when you are out there, but this looks much more professional than just being in the wrong place at the wrong time

thing is, are they tamils or pakistani's or someone else?

and what's the point in picking out sporting personalities?

all i know is that people will think twice before going there for sports for the next few years

you can bet some moustacheod suits from the english cricket board will be meeting to discuss how to keep a british stiff upper lip and carry on with the cricket and will be issuing a statement shortly.
for them cricket is life itself.

You do realise that the first sentace says "convoy" they hadn't got to the stadium yet.

But it's a regular occurance. there was an attack yesterday and one a few days back. Children were killed in one, the only reason this made the news is foreign visitors were targetted.

Pakistan as a nation isn't unstable per say. Its that they can't control the millitant groups. They even tried negociating with them but the Taliba/Al quada have been fragmented into ahundreds of smaller cells. Making it very difficult.

Pakistan should not be allowed to compete in world cricket again for a very long time.

The security organised by the PCB for the convoy was nothing less than a joke. They left a van and the people in it for dead like sitting ducks!

Shocking stuff considering the authorities must have known there was a large risk

The problem with that, is then the terrorists will have won, although I agree with your reason for saying it.

Watch this space! Pakistan is stuggling to keep control by the looks. I just hope they sort it out, as if they fail to.... Well the outcome could be disasturous.
