Blog from Pakistan to and around the world

Marriot Hotel, Islamabad's bomb blast occurred at a critical time.

Firstly, the newly sworn in president addressed the parliament a few hours ago and then the next day the president had to fly to USA to address the UN general assemble session and to meet US President bush and Indian Primeminister Manmohan Singh.

"The meeting comes amid tension between the two countries over US attacks on militants in tribal areas of Pakistan, close to the Afghan border."

The blast comes at a time when the world will be reminded again about war on terrorism , and Pakistan will once again be pressed hard to act against terrorism. Presindent Asif Ali Zardari, like ex-president musharraf will be pressed hard to act against terrorism.

This incident also occured at a time when Pakistan was getting opposed to US operation in the Pakistani terroritory and there was some misunderstanding and, unlikingly. some hard words were being communicated by Pakistan to the USA about the action in the Pakistani trbial area.

This comes as a reminder to Pakistan that they still have a big threat of terrorism and once again pressed hard to act against it.

The suicide bombers have striked places of worships, mosques, churches etc , hotels, ordanance factory, excise office in Lahore and so many other places. If this is being carried out by Islamic extremist , then attacking places of worhsip like mosque and madressah seems beyong apprehehnsion of ones understanding , as it is believed that they want islamic law to be implemented in Pakistan , so why attack mosque and madressahs ?

This is some thing baffling. No single place has been spared be it mosque, madressah, school, public place, hotel etc.

The purpose of this seems to be some thing else.

Ever since 9/11 not a single terrorist attack happening again in the USA, but we in pakistan have to face it very more often. Being in the frontline we are far more exposed to casualities than we might have thoughts or anticipated.

We are facing it, and learning to cope up with it.

We are facing a terror and fear we have never been used to before.
Mugging , snatching, lotting, theft, dacotiy were some of the things we have learned to cope up with , but this new for of bomb explosions and suicide bombings are some thing which we never heard before.

Infact the only suicide bombing we ever heard before were of TAMIL Tigers in Srilanka.

It does not make sense that ever since 9/11 the number of suicide bombings have increased and every second bomb blast is taken as suicing bombing, which we never heard before 9/11.
