Peshawar Under Attack
By Brig. (r) Junaid Zaman • Jun 13th, 2009 • Category: Politics • 3 CommentsIt’s easy, easy like wind for the terrorists to get mix up in any city of NWFP especially in the Peshawar. Afghanis, Tajiks, Uzbeks and tribal militants are just another Pukhtoon look-alike and they are exploiting that niche. Terrorists are trying to exert pressure on the government and trying to take the war from Swat, FATA and FR Bannu to the Peshawar city.
In tandem suicide attacks and bomb blasts in recent days in the besieged city of Peshawar are clear manifestation of the fact that now Peshawar is the main target of the terrorists. Why should they bother to come over to Lahore, Karachi or Islamabad after crossing many hurdles, when they could wreck equal havoc in the Peshawar with same terror throughout the country.
Peshawar is under attack and residents are fearful and in extreme tension. There is an atmosphere of terror. Now terrorists can hit any place, anywhere and any time. If they can hit an area like the Pearl Continental and near the home of Corps Commander, they can hit anywhere.
Federal government, with the help of international community, must quadruple the police strength in NWFP and also provide state-of-the-art weapons to FC, Police, Elite Force, 15 and other security agencies. Especially the citizens of Peshawar must be consoled with and government should run a media campaign to boost the morale of the people.

Tragic, Unfortunate and our hearts are crying for the innocent people.But are we killing the so called Taliban fighter or waiting for them to escape from Swat valley? I think we are chasing them so they can reappear some where else. Kill and capture should be the First step after that take them to sea and drown them in Indian Ocean. These So called Taliban are Indian and Soviet agents We should kill them quickly otherwise they will be every where and that might be too late.
