A major terrorist attack in Pakistan Lahore. A large number of child victims

42
Another terrorist attack on the eve claimed a large number of human lives. This time the explosion thundered in the Pakistani city of Lahore. Information Agency Reuters reports that the number of victims of the terrorist attack at the moment is at least 69 people. More than three hundred injured, and the state of several dozen of them is assessed as critical. A Lahore police spokesman told the press that the 23 child had died as a result of the terrorist act, and 56 children were taken to medical facilities with injuries of varying degrees of severity.

A large number of victims among children is due to the fact that the suicide bomber undermined a car bomb at the entrance to the recreation park.

According to recent reports, a grouping close to the Pakistani wing of the Taliban has claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack in Lahore.

A police spokesman for the city of Lahore said that the power of the explosive device that had been fired at the park entrance was several tens of kilograms of TNT.

A major terrorist attack in Pakistan Lahore. A large number of child victims


From the eyewitness account:
I was in a favorite park with two sons. Suddenly a terrible explosion, I fell to the ground and did not understand anything. We usually always spend a few hours on a Sunday in this park. After the explosion, I opened my eyes and saw a lot of blood. There were fragments of human bodies everywhere.


Pakistani authorities held an emergency meeting of the Security Council, which lasted more than 4 hours. The meeting discussed issues of enhancing security at a number of facilities (including transport infrastructure) of the country.

      I can’t speak for Europe, but in America it’s on the front page, and they emphasize that it was the Christians who gathered in the park about Easter (the Catholics and Protestants, unlike the Orthodox, celebrated yesterday). But they are embarrassed to call a terrorist a Muslim in open text, because it is politically incorrect.

      And Zakharova is silent. It's not Saakashvili to troll by the pants. The Foreign Ministry was silent when a Russian citizen was executed in Pakistan. So let's not talk about Europe and "condemnation". Let's stigmatize terrorists without dividing them into “recognized” and “not recognized”.

    Again, Muslims kill Christians just because they are Christians. And a couple of days ago in Britain they killed their own Muslim for apostasy - he, you see, congratulated Christians on Easter and thus changed the teaching of the prophet. This is such a "religion of peace."No.negative And to characterize it otherwise is politically incorrect, and the rules of this site do not allow.request

      It is unlikely that you will receive an answer to this question. If you answer the truth, then immediately moderated. And if you answer politically correct, then it’s right there in the nose of a shibanet, because political correctness stinks. And for your question, plus.

        Duc, if in your opinion, the Muslims will have to genocide through one, and the Arabs and Persians almost all in a row. Maybe it's better not to genocide, but to de-Islamize? The Germans were denazified, and it turned out quite badly, a normal country with a normal people. But during the war it seemed to many that all the Germans were the fiends of hell, who must be destroyed by everyone, as the poet wrote, “how many times you see him, so many times and kill”. Or another poet: "I shoot, and there is no justice more fair than my bullet." Maybe it will work with Muslims? what

    What can I say - of course a tragedy. The meanness lies in the fact that the attack was committed in a children's park, which means that it was originally directed against children. Meanwhile, the United States and Europe are all thinking whether it is worth cooperating with Russia in the fight against terrorism and how to cooperate if they themselves have entered into confrontation with our country. How many thousands more lives are needed to finally understand who is the ally and who is the enemy.

It is not politically correct to poke at the "religion of peace", and they may also be offended, so much so that again they will blow up a thread or shoot in the name of Allah.

    Fearfully. It's very scary when children die. My condolences. I don’t know whether Mogerrini will cry or not, but the man is definitely not at ease with me. Someone will say nothing to do with Europe! And that is exactly what is more, they began to divide terrorists into "bad" and "good". The "bad" are those who blow them up, the "good" are the "rebels" who blow up the Syrians, Russians, Israelis. Do not you think that if they blow up even in Pakistan, which was loyal to the Taliban, especially children, then the whole world has reached a point. Or together we will begin to destroy t ... rey, or a terrible future awaits us, or rather its absence.

      I wondered if anyone would remember. Yes, it was the packs who built concentration camps for our prisoners, taken by spooks in Afghanistan, and tortured and mocked so that our guys preferred death to "life" in Pakistani captivity. Pakistan sent its instructors to Afghanistan for dushmans - "black storks", generously supplied the Afghan Basmachi with weapons and supplies. It is Pakistan that generously throws millions of its "refugees" into Europe, far from the last scumbags in terrorism. The same Taliban have always received Pakistani sponsorship. Pakistan has carefully raised and generously fed these Islamist anacephals to create problems for its neighbors. How will backfire ... The image of a "innocent" country with Pakistan is poorly comparable. In all fairness, in recent years Pakistan has diligently disowned friendship with the Yankees, although for many decades it was the most obedient, most loyal US mongrel in the South Asian region. In general, Pakistan is clearly not suitable for the role of an innocent victim, as is Belgium.

    The problem is not in the teachings of Islam, but in its interpretation. As in Christianity, there are many trends associated with the name of Christ. And how much blood of "infidels" was shed for the glory of Jesus, and of fellow believers too. Either you fold your fingers wrong, then you walk in the wrong direction, or the holidays are wrong. It's just that the ideas of immorality and ignorance have become popular in the world. So we got a new denomination, where God is loot. And morality ... There is no morality. Condolences to all victims of the wild terrorist attacks.

    There are many accusations against Islam. There is some kind of skew. Everything is clear - emotions overshadow the mind. But what a squiggle, panimash, Brevik alone at one time soaked more people on the island, if anyone remembers. So what? sitting in civilian conditions, in a three-room "hotel", he recently published a book. Moreover, he has tacit support in society. Civilized Europe, panimash ... Only few people know that in the middle of this "civilization, not so long ago, during the years of the Great French Revolution, raincoats, bags, shoes and many useful things were made from the leather of those executed by an industrial method. One, I remember, is an associate of Marat , even sported in a cloak made of the skin of his beloved. ”From this enlightenment, I understand that! How could half-dark Muslims think of this.
    Have you forgotten about Ulster? Well, of course! It does not count! There was a "sacred struggle for independence"! It doesn't matter that the terrorists blew up the kids as well.
    Well, about the deeds of the most correct Christians, the protestants of the US-Germans, I generally am silent. Where are self-taught terrorists with circumcised! Here, in general, everything is put on the conveyor! With carpet bombing and other gadgets.
    So, terrorism, in my opinion, has no nationality, no matter how trite it sounds.

    But none of them calls for a holy war - ghazavat. And murder in ANY form is condemned (even in war). And in Islam, jihad (including "jihad of the sword") is one of the five MAIN pillars of faith !!!!!! And killing non-Muslims and pagans is recommended. This is a CARDINAL difference in basic religious beliefs.
