This Month's Terrorist Activities
A total of 4 bomb attacks.
Deaths: 43+
Injured: 117+
This month passed relatively low key in comparison, but the attack moves further south to the city of Lahore. Lahore was previously known as the safe city. Of the 4 major cities in the country, Lahore was the only one safe from such attacks. Quetta and Peshawar for their geographical regions, their tribal system, proximity to the Talibans and Al-Quaida; Karachi for MQM, it's feudal system and political animosity. Lahore had been too south for the talibans, and too up north for the MQM violence to touch it. But over the years, especially since 2006-2007, Lahore has come in it's claws too, and has been victim to severeal such heinous crimes.
1. 5th, Peshawar, N.W.F.P. A car bomb detonated outside a Shia mosque in a central bazaar; 29 dead; 100 injured.
2. 24th, Lahore, Punjab. A bomb explosion on a main road; 1 dead; 14 injured.
Deaths: 43+
Injured: 117+

25th December
I've always been amused by this date. This date marks the birth of the founder of my nation: Pakistan. Today, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah was born. Pakistan has it's national holiday for this reason. But yay! We are celebrating Christmas in this part of the world! Amused by God's hidden agendas .. lol ...
