Our Unfriendly Neighbourhood

It was Pakistan's turn to face its own music. The recent terror strikes on the Sri Lankan Cricket team has fuelled new speculations and I am sure not all of them are wrong. The entire world knows about what happened in Lahore so I would not go into the details of that. I am more interested at pointing out incidents which point to something else.

There was not a single policeman in the bus of the Sri Lankan team. Prior to the tour they had been promised President level security to them. Where was it??

Why was the departure of Pakistan's Team bus delayed by 5 minutes at the very last moment?

The route of the bus was changed at the very last moment. How did the attackers come to know about it?

The Geo TV camera that shot the attack is fixed somewhere, stationary. Normally, when a reporter bursts onto such a scene, the cameraman is seen running with the camera to find the right angles. However, here the camera has been fixed at just the perfect angle. Did they know about the incident's timing as well?

The attackers are shown to be roaming around freely in the streets of Lahore, 11 minutes after the attack. There is no policeman in sight.

I think this is proof enough that Lahore is out of Pakistan government's control now and the end of the democracy is not-so-far.
I am not pointing fingers at anyone but you can make up your mind as to whether the attack was planned or not.
